About
Bucksport's Jed Prouty Inn probably dates from 1783 and was built by Asa Peabody; he and his brother Stephen were prominent merchants in early Bucksport. The hotel was originally built as a double house; note that it has two distinctly different doorways, one with a fan light, the other with a rectangular Federal over-light. Mr. Sparhawk bought the premises around 1820, raised the roof to a peaked roof, and with these improvements took up inn keeping.
