The Gov. James T. Lewis House, also known as the Lewis-Stare House, is a historic house at 711 W. James Street in Columbus, Wisconsin, United States.

History

The house was home to James T. Lewis, the ninth Governor of Wisconsin.[2] Lewis built the house's west wing in 1854 and its east wing in 1856. The two-story Italianate house features a low hip roof topped by a cupola, a cornice with paired brackets, tall windows, and a wraparound porch supported by Tuscan columns. Lewis sold the house to his brother shortly after it was completed; local businessman Fred A. Stare, who managed the Columbus Canning Company, bought the house in 1917.[3]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 9, 1982.[1] It has been valued at $499,900.[4]
