Southworth House

A contributing property in the Ames Hill/Crescent Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Developed from the mid to late 19th and early 20th centuries by prominent and wealthy Springfield citizens, this district occupies two adjacent hills forming a landscaped residential ridge southwest of downtown. Industrialists, bankers, lawyers and merchants built large mansions here, producing one of the finest groupings of domestic architecture in Springfield in styles ranging from Federal and Greek Revival through Italianate, Stick Style, Queen Anne, Shingle Style, Colonial Revival and Tudor. The land was originally opened by paper manufacturer David Ames in 1812, and the houses were designed and built by noted local builders and architects including Chauncey Shepard, Simon Sanborn, Henry Sykes and Eugene Gardner.
