Murphy’s Inn is housed in a classic American Four-Square wooden structure built about 1915. For fifty years (1955-2006) this house was occupied by the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame and became the Mount Carmel Convent. Although a few short-term residents occupied the house since its construction, the Sisters were clearly the most prominent tenants.
We believe that we have been able to bring this beautiful house back to its original and intended elegance.
A Brief History of Ownership: Our current understanding is that prior to 1928 the house was owned by Benjamin and Mary Alice Gerrior (spelled Girior on deed). In December of 1928 they sold the house to Benjamin Avery, formally of Larry's River but then living in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His intent was to retire and move back home and live there. He never did get to live in it. We do know that he wanted another family member to move in with him but none were interested. It sat unoccupied for a many years.
In March of 1938 Benjamin Avery sold the house to William and Jennie Murphy. As far as we know, they did not live in the house either but it remained with the Murphy family of Larry's River.
