Its architect is unknown.","why_significant":"It represents early multi-family rental housing on the lower slopes of Belmont Street at the edge of downtown Worcester. It is also tied to the neighborhood's immigrant communities, especially Armenians in the early 20th century. Architecturally, it is a well-preserved and ornately detailed early Queen Anne double three-decker.","narrative":"Built around 1892 at 130 Belmont Street, this double three-decker was put up as rental housing on the lower slopes of Belmont Street, in Worcester's ethnically diverse East Side. Its symmetrical facade has a central entry with a semi-circular transom under a bracketed portico, projecting end window bays, paired windows with arched molding on the third story, decorative panels, and a bracketed cornice. The walls are wood clapboard, and no major alterations are recorded. Mary Dean owned the building through 1900. Early tenants included Irish, German and Swedish families, and by the early 20th century many residents were Armenian or Syrian/Lebanese, with several working as wireworkers at the nearby Washburn and Moen North Works. A Chinese laundry operated in the basement in 1900. The property was listed for its place in early multi-family housing development, its link to immigrant communities, and its well-preserved Queen Anne detailing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne style Three-Decker","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential, the same as its original use.
