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]
