Description

The Samuel Tuck house was built around 1835. Tuck, the original occupant, noted for starting the Atlantic Silk Company with the help of his father-in-law, lived in this home and kept a watchful eye on the silk factory directly across the street. The classic three-bay home, with a rear terrace, features large windows that provide natural light and Greek Revival architectural elements, including higher ceilings, a generous double parlor, end chimneys with five (unlined) fireplaces, and decorative details more elaborate than those of earlier homes. This special four-bedroom home, a short walk from the center of town or Lily Pond Park, has been owned by the same family for 50 years. The property is largely original, and the high brick foundation offers potential for additional future living space.
