Castle Tucker
Built in 1804, this Federal-style mansion was eventually purchased by Captain Richard Tucker in 1848, who undertook a dramatic 25 years of renovations both inside and out, until his fortunes were deflated. Today, the Tucker family is committed to preserving the history and state of the house, and it appears now much as it did in Captain Tucker’s time.

Nickels-Sortwell House
Just a short walk from Castle Tucker, the Nickels-Sortwell House is an historic treasure. Built by Captain William Nickels, a ship owner and trader, the elegant home was a sign of prosperity in the area. The house became a hotel around 1830, and remained that way until the end of the century, when Alvin Sortwell purchased it as a summer residence. Sortwell brought the home to a glorious grandeur, refinishing it in a Colonial Revival style.
