Franklin Peck.","why_significant":"The house is considered a distinctive and sophisticated example of Greek Revival domestic architecture in Lima, with cubic massing and a low hipped roof that show the influence of the emerging Italianate style. It also represents the fashionable village dwelling of a wealthy, urban-oriented owner during the prosperous mid-nineteenth century. It was home to several prominent Lima families.","narrative":"Built in 1853 on East Main Street in the village of Lima, this two and one-half story frame house was constructed for wool merchant J. Franklin Peck, who is credited as its builder. Its three-bay, center-hall front, cubic form and low hipped roof combine Greek Revival character with hints of the emerging Italianate style. Massive Doric corner pilasters, a molded entablature, attic windows with cast-iron grilles and a recessed entrance with sidelights give it a refined look. Inside, original moldings, butternut doors and period mantels survive. Peck stored wool in the rear wing and ran his business from the basement. Later occupants included farmers, a lawyer and a seed dealer, among them the Backus, Dibble, Atwell and Klitgord families. The house is recognized as one of Lima's finest Greek Revival buildings and reflects the village's prosperity from the 1840s to the 1860s, when substantial dwellings rose along its main streets.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1853","architect_builder":"Architect unknown; builder attributed to J.
