The Andrew Friberg Three-Decker is a historic triple decker in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. Built about 1928, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990,[1] noted for its Colonial Revival styling. These details have been lost or obscured by later exterior siding installation (see photo).
Description and history[]
The Andrew Friberg Three-Decker is located in Worcester's southeastern Vernon Hill neighborhood, at the southwest corner of Ames and Stockton Streets. It is a three-story wood frame structure, covered by a gabled roof and finished with synthetic siding. Its main facade is asymmetrical, with bands of three sash windwos on the left side, and a projecting stack of porches on the right. Both the main roof and the porch projection have fully pedimented gables.[2]
The house was built about 1928, during the last major phase of development in the Vernon Hill area. It is differentiated from earlier triple-deckers by the lack of a projecting polygonal bay, the usual accompaniment to the porch stack. A band of three windows is also found on the building's side, where earlier triple-deckers also often had a projecting bay. When the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990,[1] it was noted for its Colonial Revival styling, including porches supported by Tuscan columns and banded decorative shingling between the floors.[2] Andrew Friberg, the building's first owner, was a Swedish immigrant laborer who also lived here. Other early residents were of Swedish and Irish origin.[2]
