Description and history

The Louis Delsignore Three-Decker is located in Worcester eastern Shrewsbury Street residential area, on the east side of Imperial Road at its junction with Imperial Place. It is a three-story frame structure, with a flat roof that has a deep projecting cornice. The exterior is finished in stucco, believed to be the only triple-decker in the city finished in that way. The front facade is asymmetrical, with a porch stack on the left, and a projecting window bay on the right. Its porch openings have distinctive hood moulds, and the window bays are rounded rather than the more usual polygon shape. A second projecting window bay, shallower than that on the front, is found on the right side. A small garage, also finished in stucco, is set at the back of the property. [2]

Built about 1916, its first documented owner was Louis Delsignore, a mason who may have been responsible for its stucco finish. The building's early owners and occupants were Italian immigrants, a population that was expanding into southeastern Worcester in the first two decades of the 20th century. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Erick Kaller Three-Decker</span> United States historic place

There are two noteworthy triple decker apartment houses built by Erick Kaller in Worcester, Massachusetts. They are located in Worcester's east side Belmont Avenue neighborhood, on the west side of Eastern Avenue north of Belmont Avenue. Both were built about 1894 in the Queen Anne style, and were originally nearly identical. They are wood-frame buildings, covered by hip roofs, and having a conventional side hall plan with a projecting side jog. The front facades are asymmetrical, with projecting polygonal bay windows on the left side, and a single-story porch sheltering the entrance on the right. The principal difference between the two is that 148 Eastern has flared siding skirts below its projecting bay windows, while 146 has plain siding there. Both have lost some of their styling due to subsequent exterior alterations, including the application of modern siding.
