==Description and history==
Towne Street is located in central eastern North Attleborough, on the fringe of the Attleborough Falls area that was the site of major industrial economic activity in the 19th century. The street was a rural lane from an early period, and the stretch between Jackson Street and Stanley Street was not built on until the 1830s, prior to the industrial development of the Falls. The widely spaced houses and rural feel have been retained since that time.〔
The first houses built on the street were the Stanley House (260 Towne Street, c. 1835) and the Thomas Wilmarth House (251 Towne Street, c. 1850). Both are Greek Revival in character, with five-bay facades and centered entrances, but the older house has a central chimney (reminiscent of older Federal and colonial styles), and has a less fully realized Greek Revival treatment present in the Wilmarth House. The Wilmarth house was enlarged in the 1880s, adding some Gothic features. The Miller House (240 Towne Street), was built c. 1870, and is a vernacular structure with an ornate Italianate bracketed hood over the entrance. The Edwin Wilmarth House was built about 1880, and has a porch with spindled balustrade, and a three-story tower characteristic of the Queen Anne period.〔
