The Pioneer Valley: Northhampton

This building, some may say it looks like a church, is actually the Hampture County Courthouse. If you ever get called to on a grand jury, or a traverse jury for that matter. this is where you should report. the venerable old structure, located on the corner of main and King street, is bolstered by a newer, modern annex just behind it. Itt has a great set of front steps, that are often taken advantage of lunching grand jurors. And within walking distance, you can find some thirty resturants, form japanese to Morocan, Mexico to Indian, and lots more in between.

This triplex on South Street is a good example of multi-family dwellings in the area. Built as a one family home in the 30s, it has been converted to a three family with seperate entrances, heating and electricity. Thanks to the area collages-Smith, Amherst, UMass, Mt. Holyoke,and Hapshire, Northhampton has a booming rental industry.
