Lewis Home, west elevation.

CAPTION (Lower Image):

Red Box – Original home

Red Arrow – The family room addition was built within feet of the Bregant Residence. The addition has been built to wrap around the north extension on the Bregant home.

Large Blue Box – Family Room Addition at East; with bedroom/office and bath.

Small Blue Box – North Porch/Entry (into family room).

Green Box – Garage

The last 3 (family room, porch entry, and garage) are assumed to have been built at the same time (date unknown).

The Lewis Home, built ca. 1890, retains many historic features from the Lewis’ occupation – primarily on the ground floor.  The upstairs has been converted to two rental apartments. Notable, on the main floor, are huge plate glass windows, beautiful wood trim, and hardwood floors. Sometime in its history, a family room, bedroom (or office), and a full bath were added towards the back (east) side of the original home.  The family room has been used recently for PCB board meetings. A three-bay garage was also built presumably at the same time, attached to the home at the rear (north side).

The once-open front porch and the sleeping porch on the second floor have been enclosed.

Original Lewis Home, with modern additions.

BREGANT RESIDENCE

Conceptual Floor Plan

The ground (main) floor will be repurposed as an Air B&B.  The original layout consisted of a front parlor (the furthest west room, with an angled fireplace); the back parlor (immediately east), and the dining room (furthest east, along with the kitchen).  The former front parlor will be converted to a bedroom with closet; the back parlor, into a living room, with access to the south via a new door; and the dining room will remain as it was used historically (refurbished).  The kitchen will be completely redone – to modern standards.  Two ground-floor bathroom will be completely upgraded, with new fixtures and white “subway” tile.  A second bedroom, “Bay Window” north of the back parlor, is also being finished.

The Lewis Home, mortgaged by PCB in 2018, provides much-needed income for PCB’s ongoing preservation efforts.
