Who Built and Lived Here?
The Bartlett-Rockhill House was built around 1855. It was first made for a person named Edmund Bartlett. Later, a famous sea captain, Captain Zebedee W. Rockhill, owned the house.
In 1910, Edmund Bartlett's nephew, J. Henry Bartlett, bought the house. He lived there for many years, until 1945. The house has seen many changes over time. Additions and updates were made to it up until the 1930s.
