historical narrative
Present owner: Richmond
Original owner: H. Bradford Lewis
Themes: Architectural, Community development
Historical significance: Built by H. B. Lewis, a Wool scourer and developer of Lanolin products for Lawrence Mills, for his private residence. He also stayed at Chandler Hidden House, presumably while waiting for his house to be completed.
Pretentious "high Victorian" residence. Believed to have been constructed by Jenkins, formerly of Abbot & Jenkins (partnership dissolved 1889 by death of Abbott) who built house on 36 Central (1892) which has many similar features, particularly on interior: quartered oak panelling, strong construction using stone foundation as precaution against fire danger.
