This  contributing,  intact  and  architecturally   significant,   c.1855  residence  clearly   recalls  the  period  of  mid-nineteenth  century community  development along River Street.  It represents a  well-preserved example of Greek Revival/Italianate residential architecture with late-nineteenth  century,  Victorian style  porch detailing.   This 1-1/2 story, wood  frame  home features  a cross-gabled  plan  with gable front, boxed cornices with gable returns, front, polygonal  bay window with decorative  cornice  brackets, 2/2 sash and front entry overhang with decorative, turned wood bracing.  The 1-story, shed-roofed porch has turned wood columns  with decorative  braces.  The property also features a contributing, nineteenth century, clapboard-sided outbuilding.  This contributing structure was built by Hamilton Lewis.  It appeared on the 1876 Bears Atlas.  It may have been used as an office for the planing mill.  The bay windows were added in 1916.
 
This was the home of the former Town Historian,  Mable Tucker.  This section of River Street, from the Osborne Bridge to the end of the sidewalk was known as Lewisville, named for Gardner Lewis who owned a planing mill and established a pulp mill there.
