| 1800/00/00 | Nicholas Hall | Architect | During the 1st decade of the C19th, Nicholas Hall builds a graceful and simple Federal house of ample proportions. The house was originally built on the "Old Road" which remains visible as a bridle path some 500 feet behind the present structure. | |||
| 1823/02/05 | Nicholas sells his house and 100 acres of land to his son, Ozni, the 10th and youngest child, for $2,000. We are left to speculate how the young man, then 24 years of age, has managed to acquire this relatively vast sum. | |||||
| 1826/00/00 | In 1826 and 1827 the present road, originally called the "Joel Robinson Road" is laid out and the house was moved at that time to its present location. It seems more than likely that its conversion to a hostelry took place at this time. | |||||
| 1832/10/29 | Shortly after Ozni Hall's death, an administrator's auction appears in the (Portland) Eastern Argus: 21 acres of land with a two story house, two stables and outbuildings... The premises are well calculated for a public house, and now occupied as such. | |||||
| 1895/00/00 | Eventually purchased by Ozni's brother-in-law, Major Edward Alien for $1400, the house continued in use as an inn or tavern until the 1890's, when it reverted to its original status as a private residence. |
