The story
Lumber businessman William M. Shaw, whose M. G. Shaw Company owned timberland and ran the lake steamer Katahdin, hired Gardiner architect Edwin E. Lewis to design his Queen Anne home above Greenville. Bangor architect Wilfred E. Mansur expanded it around 1905, making it one of the most opulent houses in Piscataquis County. The 4.5-acre property includes the main house, a period carriage house and six guest cottages added when it became an inn. It was listed on the National Register in 2013.
