Oliver Tew House, 135 Lovely St.

Looking left across the street.

Oliver Tew House, c. 1915. Colonial Revival style with a gambrel roof, formal and symmetrical facade, and portico entryway. Classic Doric round columns and pilasters support this traditionally inspired entrance with Georgian influenced transom fanlight and sidelights flanking the heavy 6 panel door. The 6 lite over 1 lite double hung windows are paired with decorative wood shutters and a sunroom with a flat roof top open porch is located to the left side of the house.

Sherman and Edwin Sanford deeded a one-acre lot to Sherman's daughter, Blanche, and son-in-law, Oliver C. Tew, a tool maker, in 1915. Tew worked for the Upson Nut Company, later Bourne-Fuller, and eventually Republic Steel. The property was mortgaged in 1917 with building, dating the home to 1915-1917.
