The Col. Pearl house. at the head Of

! ha~ been set down as the first frame house
built in Burlington. 1t was the largest
and most imposing Of the framed dwellings
of the early DAYS of Burlington. but was
not the first Uncle Horace LOOMS, in his
recolections Of Burlington. says that when
his father, Phinehas LOOMS, settled IN Bur

site of the brick house Of John Pomeroy,

east corner Of Water and King streets. and
Capt Gideon Kings, on what is now the
northeast corner OF Water and King streets.
