The 1892 12-room Victorian cottage was originally built as Colonel John Upham’s winter home. It changed to apartment buildings some time in its past, but was restored to a private residence in the 1970s. It is not open to the public. It is said to be haunted by a pretty young woman named Claire who likes to play harpsichord music. Legend has it that her sea captain husband kept Claire imprisoned in the attic while he was away, and during one of his trips, she died there.

I live there with three roommates in one of the apartments in the early ’80s. It was a pretty big apartment in the rear of the house. My bedroom was actually in the attic! Had many restless nights due to weird sounds and sights. Will never forget it!
