The veranda was added around 1900. The cottage to the left was built in the 1860s as an office for his son-in-law, Dr. W.G.Goodhue.
Ezra Craver, a builder in Lebanon since 1835, was the contractor. Known locally for taking liberties with classic designs, his interior "Lebanon" cheery staircase post is said to be unique. The house was the home of Lewis's immediate family for over 125 years, ending in 1972 with the death of his daughter, Hazel Lewis Brookes."
