The timber was used in erecting houses owned by John B. Morse on School Street and that recently owned by Dr. F. H. O'Connor on Green Street (1903). It was really a mansion as seen in the picture, high above the bridge, the bottom of the cellar on a level with the ridge pole of the bridge. It was three stories high, with two wings, the main hall in the form of a cross, north and south doors opening onto broad piazzas two stories high on the fronts of the ells, the west door onto a high pillared porch. It was beautifully landscaped in front, with stairs leading down to the bridge. There was a garden on the south, barns on the north. The mansion stood on the site of the brick water house of the B&M Railroad."
This advertisement appeared in the Farmers Museum: Walpole Bridge Hotel "The subscriber informs the public that the large and elegant house at Bellows Falls, lately built by F. W. Geyer Esq. is ready for the accommodation of travellers. As a retreat from the feverish air of a city, or as an agreeable temporary retirement from the confusion and bustle of the town, its romantic scenery and its pure air render it peculiarly eligible. Punctual attendance will constantly be given, and the best pro- visions and liquors will always be kept. Thomas Alker, Walpole, August 5,1799."
From this it might be inferred that Geyer rather than Hale built the mansion. It may be that Hale built and Geyer enlarged or remodelled it. It was later known as the Tucker Mansion (Tucker was Geyer's son-in- law). The Cheshire Railroad Company bought the property in 1847; razed it to make room for railroad buildings.
