Galen C. Moses House |
||
|
Built in 1874 for Galen Clapp Moses, the bed and breakfast located in Bath Maine, became an instant celebrity in Bath when Jim and Larry purchased it in 1994 to create a bed & breakfast. There are surprises throughout the house, from the elegant gardens and rooms filled with tasteful antiques to the full theatre located on the third floor (and once used to entertain officers from the nearby Naval Air Station during World War II). |
