Notes
  • Significance: Construction of this house, more commonly referred to as the Lee House, spanned three decades. Begun in 1848, it was enlarged in 1853 and 1873 by Charles Wesley Goyer. With the last extension, the prosperous merchant added the Victorian front section with its ponderous tower, bracketed cornices and elaborate details. The architects for the final addition were Edward C. Jones and Mathias H. Baldwin. The house was purchased in 1890 by Captain James Lee, Jr., son of the founder of the extensive Lee Line of river steamers and packets.
