Dr. Hamlin built a three-story white house with high square rooms and large windows that look out over the New Hampshire mountains on one side and the Paris Hill Common and Baptist Meeting house on the other.
The home became a center of activity and hospitality in the village of Paris, from the time the Hamlins welcomed the traveling Pequawket Indian woman Molly Ockett, to the boarding of a future governor of the state, Enoch Lincoln.
The Hamlins also provided space for village theater productions and many quilts were stitched together by the ladies of Paris in the spacious rooms.
