Regarding Joe Chase Adams House. Excerpt from the National Register listing:
Throughout this period, J. C. Adams positioned himself as a commercial and politicalleader in Lewisburg. To state, in physical terms, his importance in the local scheme of things, Adams in 1900 purchased from his father three acres on East Hill and began to build one of Lewisburg's grandest Victorian homes. The high elevation of the property (one of the highest in town) looks down onto the square, only three blocks away. By 25 January 1901 the house was completed and he had moved his family from their house on Depot Street into their new home. The Lewisburg Tribune reported that "this is one of the prettiest homes in Lewisburg."
