Hannibal Hamlin House, National Register of Historic Places residence in Bangor, United States
The Hannibal Hamlin House at 15 Fifth Street features Italianate architecture with a mansard roof, decorative slate shingles, and paired brackets in the eaves.
Built between 1848 and 1851 by William T. Hilliard, the residence became home to Vice President Hannibal Hamlin during Abraham Lincoln's presidency from 1862.
From 1933 to 2007, the six-bedroom house functioned as the official residence for presidents of Bangor Theological Seminary after Hamlin's son donated the property.
The 6,000-square-foot property includes original Italian marble fireplaces, vintage doorbells with pulley systems, and multiple architectural details from the 1850s construction.
The basement contains a former children's playroom labeled 'The Red Club House' and houses a bed box from Hamlin's time as ambassador to Spain.
