Sikes-Lewis House – Hemphill

A two-story wood-framed house with hipped roof and projecting gabled bay. A full porch with hipped roof extends across the front. Jeptha B. Sikes, president of the George T. Smith Flour Purifying Co. and vice president of the Crystal Ice Co., lived here from 1911 to 1914. Rowland Lewis, owner of a furniture company, purchased the house in 1923, and it remained in the Lewis family until 1978. The Sikes-Lewis House is in need of repairs. The half column to the right of the front steps has been removed and the column at the south end of the porch is compromised.
