Italianate villa of grand proportions built for Captain Wells at the height of the whaling industry. The house has twin-arched windows on all sides of the tower and elegant arches on front porch. After losing his whaling fortune, Captain Wells had his ship, the Swallow, enlarged and went to Africa to obtain slaves. He collected the human cargo and started homeward but was never heard of again. The crew, however, arrived safely, sold the slaves and the ship.
