Note

Title supplied by cataloger. The Charles Henry Mallory house was built and later enlarged and remodeled with profits made from whaling, shipping and shipbuilding by the family firm. It was used mostly as a summer house for the New York-based Mallory after 1870. It was later a boarding house, referred to as Lamphere House, and was torn down in the early twentieth century to be replaced by an auto service station. A Bess Eaton doughnut shop now occupies the site. Charles H. Mallory was the son of Charles Mallory, founder of the family's sail making and maritime enterprises. Affixed to blank card 9 x 12 in.
