BUILDING FORM 110-112 Derby Street
ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION See continuation sheet.
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings
within the community.
This 2 1/2-story, 5-bay, center-entry, center-chimney, gable-roofed house has
a 2-story addition on the south elevation, a 2-story, rear addition and a
2-story wing on the north elevation. The original portion of the house has
close eaves on the gable end and eave molding below the cornice on the long,
Turner Street facade. Window frames are molded and window sash are 6/6.
The entry vestibule on the Turner Street facade is trimmed with a
pilaster/architrave/ cornice frame in the Georgian style. Above the vestibule
is a rectangular enclosure. Both of these elements may be late nineteenth
century additions.
Despite the extensive, exterior alterations that have been made to this house,
it still retains much of its historic appearance. This aspect is due in part
to the preservation of original features on the main house and in part to
the sympathetic treatment of the additions. The survival of the heavy,
central chimney is probably the most important element in maintaining an
historic feeling. Retention of the original silhouette on the north elevation
and its Beverly jog are also important.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE X See continuation sheet.
Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state history. Include uses
of the building and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
The present structure, located at the corner of Turner and Derby Streets, was
built in several phases. A 2 1/2-story structure with several, side
projections appears to have been built sometime during the first third of the
nineteenth century. Its earliest documented owner was William Lane, a
mariner, who is listed in the 1836 Directory and resided in the house
until 1855.
During the 1860's, the house was occupied by Misses Harriet and Caroline Lane.
At some point during the third quarter of the nineteenth century (1851-1874),
the house was enlarged. A two-story addition was erected on the Derby Street
elevation which occupies the southeast corner of the lot.
By the 1880's, the house appears to have become a two-family residence.
By that time, it had come under the ownership of George F. Berry, who owned
other properties in the area. Around 1884, a major change seems to have
taken place. The south side of the original"structure received a small, one-
story projection, which brought the building right to the edge of the Derby
Street portion of the lot. Sometime after 1951, this addition was raised to a
full two stories. The older portion of the structure, moreover, which
occupied the Turner Street side of the lot, appears to have been subdivided.
Part of it continued to be used as a two-family dwelling. Part of it was

HISTORICAL NARRATIVE (continued)
combined with the new one-story addition and was used until the turn of the
century as a smoke shop by Frederick Rowell, a cigar maker.
The two-story addition on the Derby Street side of the lot was used as a
separate residence until c. 1897. In that year, it was converted to a variety
store whose proprietor, George Moreland, resided in the portion of the
original structure that had continued to serve as a dwelling. Shortly after
the turn of the century, however, the original structure in its entirety was
converted into a dwelling, and the narrow, one-story addition on the Derby
Street side of the lot became a grocery store, whose proprietor occasionally
resided in the Turner Street portion of the structure. Also, the two-story
addition on the Derby Street side of the lot became a shoe repair shop through
c. 1920, when it too was converted into dwelling space.
In 1946, the two-story addition together with the narrow one-story addition,
both of which are along Derby Street, became the Cremo Cafe, whose proprietor,
Michael Hedio, resided in the original portion of the building on the Turner
Street side of the lot. Between 1970 and 1989, the No Name Pub occupied the
Derby Street side of the lot. Its proprietor, Chris Vigoletta, also resided
in the original portion of the structure. Finally, in 1989, the Turner Street
and Derby Street portions of the structure were combined and have since
housed the Grand Turk Tavern. Two apartments occupy the rear portion of the
original building.
