| George Perley was a
representative to the Maine State Legislature and a Selectman for the town of Gray.
In 1829 he purchased the land and built the house soon after, where he and his wife
Hannah, along with their six children, lived for several years. In the 1890's the George Perley House became the Town Farm where those who suffered misfortune and had no one to care for them, could find sanctuary. In 1942, the Town Farm could no longer afford to operate, and was sold for $1,500. On April 15, 1971, Doreen & Cole bought the house where they raised three children. Throughout the years Cole has worked as an employment counselor and Doreen as a teacher. In 1994, after their children had finished college, they decided to restore the house to its original condition and open it as a Bed & Breakfast. Over the years, the George Perley House has gone through many transformations, but it is still a place to find sanctuary. |
