188 North Street
This side
gable roof house fronts the northern side of North Street at number 188. It has been recognized as part of a
National Register Nomination for North Street as a contributing historic
structure however the proposed date of construction on that nomination was
1888. The 1869 Beers Atlas Map
shows a structure on this site, as well as the 1877 Birds Eye Map of
Burlington. Which would place date
of construction two decades earlier.
I believe further research would help verify the actual date of
construction.
The first
recognized owner of the property is Isaac Fugere, a carpenter. By 1890 the house had considerable
alterations. A large wing was constructed to the
southern side as well as a rear projection to the east. The family stayed with house until the
mid 1950s when George L. Fugere, a laborer, died.
