About this property

The Louis Delsignore Three-Decker is a historic triple decker in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built about 1916, it is the only stuccoed triple decker in the city, and is a symbol of the city's eastward growth fueled by the arrival of Italian immigrants. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. 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. 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.
