Description and history

The John and Edward Johnson Three-Decker is located in Worcester's southeaster Vernon Hill neighborhood, on the west side of Louise Street. It is a three-story frame structure, covered by a gabled roof, and finished in a combination of wooden shingles and clapboards. Its front has a stack of porches on the right side, and a rounded window bay on the left. Unlike many triple deckers its first floor porch extends part way around one of the sides. The house is sided in alternating sections of shingles and clapboards, and its upper porches are supported by grouped slender turned columns. The left side of the house also as a projecting three-story window bay. The front roof gable is fully pedimented, and there are shallow brackets in the eaves. [2]

The house was built about 1918, when the area was being heavily developed with triple deckers. Many of the area's early residents were immigrants working in nearby steel mills and wire factories. The first owners, John and Edward Johnson, were probably Swedish immigrants, and were respectively a machinist and a wire worker. Early tenants included Irish and Swedish immigrants. [2]

At the time of their construction circa 1892, Harrop is described in city directories as a wool sorter, but, over the following years, he became a real estate developer.
