Description and history

[edit]

The Frye House is located north of downtown Lewiston, at the southeast corner of Frye Street and Main Street (United States Route 202). It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a mansard roof providing a full third floor. The roofline below the steep portion of the roof is modillioned and dentillated, and the line between the roof levels also has a projecting cornice. The roof is studded with gabled dormers. William P. Frye served as United States Senate Majority Leader and was a trustee of Bates College which is adjacent to his home. Windows on the sides are topped by decorative hoods, while the front-facing facade has two-story polygonal window bays. A sympathetic two-story addition extends to the rear of the house, along Frye Street.[2]

The house was built in 1874 to a design by Fassett & Stevens.[3] The house was built for William P. Frye, a lawyer whose record of public service included mayor of Lewiston, state representative, United States Congressman, Maine Attorney General, and United States Senator. He was, along with James G. Blaine, one of Maine's leading political figures of the period.[2]
