Description
The Lincoln Post Office was in the Plumly Building, a three story building built in 1856 on the corner lot of lower Main Street. David S. Plumly had it built following a fire which destroyed his store in the same location in 1842. He ran a general store during his lifetime and passed it down to his son Charles F. afterward. The other part of the building was occupied by Harrison Piper, who had a jewelry store there for thirty years. Mr. Plumly was interested in lumbering and owned the mills at Cold Stream (Hubbard's Mills). He was a Justice of the Peace, a Selectman, the Deputy Sheriff in 1852 and Assistant Assessor of Internal Revenue during the Civil War.
