The Parson Tracy-George Gibbs House, corner of Lincoln and Stone Streets, was the first brick house built in Biddeford. It was built in 1825 of Biddeford brick as a residence for the Reverend Thomas Tracy, then pastor of the Second Congregational Church on Crescent Street. For many years this houses was known as the Parson Tracy House. It was later occupied by George K. Gibbs, who served the Pepperell Mills for sixty years and who was Superintendent of the mills from 1881 until his death in 1919. The house's location directly across the street from the Mill's main entrance was assuredly the reason Mr. Gibbs was supplied with this residence. The house stands today and is used as a daycare and preschool.
