About this property

The Helen Dodge Three-Decker is an historic three-decker house at 570 Pleasant Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1912, the well preserved, architecturally eclectic building is representative of the final stages of three-decker development, and its penetration into the fashionable upper-class west side of the city. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The Helen Dodge Three-Decker is located in a residential setting west of downtown Worcester, on the south side of Pleasant Street opposite the city's Newton Hill Park. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a gable-on-hip roof and a mostly clapboarded exterior. Prominent features of its front facade include an angled projecting rectangular bay on the left side, and a stack of three porches on the right. The porch is distinctive for its semi-circular arch openings, and there are bands of decoratively cut shingles between the floors. The house was built about 1912, and was one of a number of more architecturally sophisticated three-deckers built on the city's fashionable west side, its middle-class working residents gaining access to the downtown via a streetcar line that ran down Pleasant Street. Its early residents included clerks and telephone operators.
