History and description
[edit]Around 1835, William Stites and his wife Sarah lived in the three and one-half story brick townhouse at 104 South Main Street, the Stites Building. The Federal style building was later owned by John Lander (1798–1889), founder of the Warren Foundry & Machine Company, one of the town's largest employers. An octagonal tower was added around 1885 during a renovation, which added Italianate features. The three-story brick townhouse at 102 South Main Street, the Lander–Stewart Mansion, was built around 1880 by Jacob S. Stewart, son-in-law of Lander. It features a brownstone facade and Italianate/Neo-Grec architecture.[3]
