Write a reviewBucksport'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. By 1850 it was owned by Daniel Robinson and the name was changed to the Robinson House, a name it was to carry for the next 100 years. In 1860 the hotel was owned by B.F. Farnham. James F. Moses, recently from Skowhegan, bought the hotel that February for $787.26 (including furnishings). A member of the staff was a young man named Richard Golden who wrote, produced and took the lead in a play called "Old Jed Prouty", Mr. Moses assured guests that it must be "another" hotel that they were thinking of.
