Towanda’s major new industry in the 1880s was James H. Hawes’ Toy Factory, located just north of the Historic District in a neighborhood still called Toytown, and the Hawes firm became one of the country’s largest. About 1894, James’ son and successor William built this Queen Anne home. It features scalloped shingles; recessed porch on the third story; wrap-around porch with turned columns; corbeled brick chimney; three full story gabled bays; bull’s eye windows; and an octagonal tower with a tent roof. J. H. Pierce of Elmira, NY was the architect.
