In 1825 the Storer brothers sold 17 acres and 42 rods of this land to shipbuilder, Joel Larrabee Jr., who later lost it to Kennebunk Bank. The bank then sold 15 acres and 53 rods in 1828 to farmer/joiner Samuel Simpson. In 1843 Simpson sold 2 acres to farmer John Drown. It is between this date and 1856 when this present house appeared on this site. The house is Federal in shape with Italinate trim detailing the exterior. Visually, the details of the house appears to be older than 1843. Around this time period Drown gave a mortgage to William Lord, which was redeemed. This money may have been used to build this house. The land and house passed through various owners and property sold off. In 2001, Randee and Norm Perkins purchased this home on an acre and remodeled the farm house and converted the interior of the barn for the intent of opening a pet friendly B&B . Few changes were made to the charming exterior of the structures. Extensive updates to the interior were done while preserving all original details. As proud owners we welcome you to share our comfortable and homey lodging and if persuaded we could share stories and pictures of our 1½ years experience renovating this 'labor of love'. click here for articles about the Hounds Tooth Inn
