The Isaac C. Lewis Cottage is a historic house at 255 Thimble Islands Road in Branford, Connecticut. It is an architecturally eclectic 2-1/2 story Late Victorian structure, built in 1882 as an oceanside summer house by Isaac C. Lewis, a manufacturer of silver products. The house exhibits a mix of elements drawn from the Second Empire, Gothic Revival, and Stick Style. Its exterior is clad in a combination of finishes, includes board-and-batten siding, fish-scale wood shingles, and clapboards. Its dominant feature is a mansard-roofed tower.[2]
The house was included in the Stony Creek-Thimble Islands Historic District in 1988, and separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1][3]
