The Country Lawyer's Office

​In 2005 the “Country Lawyer’s Office” was purchased by Phelps native Mary Hicks Preston and donated to the Phelps Community Historical Society. 
  
Built around 1835 this one-story red brick building with four white pillars became well-known after a
book 
written by Bellamy Partridge in 1939, The Country Lawyer, became a best selling novel.
   For almost 40 years, Bellamy’s father, Samuel S. Partridge, practiced law in this building. The building is open on a limited schedule. We have recently refurbished this building for public visitation and use by visitors and the community.
