The Lincolnshireとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Lincolnshire a grand mansion at 22 Hidden Rd. and 28 Hidden Way in Andover, Massachusetts was built between 1897 and 1898 for Henry Bradford Lewis (1868-1951), who made a considerable fortune from his scouring mills in Lawrence. Lewis was in charge of the three mills of the E. Frank Lewis Co. and the American Lanolin Co., which employed 500 persons at their peak. The manufacturer spared no expense -- or whimsey -- in creating and furnishing this estate. George S. Adams, who designed a similar Queen Anne/Colonial Revival mansion for Lewis' father in Lawrence, may also have designed the son's house. At his death in 1951 Lewis left $80,750 in real estate (including this house and its greenhouse at $35,000 and No. 17 Hidden Rd, bought for his daughter) and more than $97,000 in personal estate, most of which was left to his wife Lillian. As Lewis anticipated, the house was too large to be maintained for only one occupant, and the building was sold in 1953 to C. Lincoln Giles, and converted into apartments. The carriage house is now a single-family residence.
