On the north side of Main Street the residences of George Washington Wells, founder of American Optical; and his son Joel Cheney (J.C.) Wells are shown. Interesting architectural details such as balconies, porches, dormer windows are in evidence. A dirt road is viewable, in the foreground and electricity poles are shown running parallel to the roadway. A lawn with recent plantings separates the buildings from the street.
