| Additional Information: | 1984/86--A long term third ward alderman for the City of Menasha, James Thom was bookkeeper for Menasha Wood Split Pulley Company. His house was constructed by no later than 1900. Although the James Thom House is associated with a well known public official in Menasha, its primary significance is in its architecture. The James Thom House is lcoated on Doty Island in one of Menasha's most prominent neighborhoods. Situated on teh west side of Naymut Street, the Thom House is a two and one half story Gabled ell residence built in an "L" plan. The hipped roof material is asphalt, the siding is clapboard, and the foundations are random stone. Outstanding features include a canopied front stoop and wood shingled dormers. A contributing member of the Naymut Street Historic District, the James Thom House is architecturally significant as an unusual and outstanding example of the gabled ell form in Menasha. 2009--The historic boundary for the proposed 1984 Naymut Street Historic District was reduced for 2009; however, the Thom home still remains within the subject proposed boundary. Since it was last surveyed in 1984, the original 2/2 windows were replaced with new 6/6 windows; the doorway at the north end of the house has been removed and better porch supports have been put in place on the front porch. |
