Dating back to 1716, the Warner House is the earliest urban brick-built house in northern New England. The house was built for wealthy seafaring Capt. Archibald Macpheadris, an Irish/Scottish immigrant, by a British builder who followed the early Georgian style which was then popular in England. The home has housed six generations of the original Macpheadris family and is today used as a museum, filled with many original furnishings and fittings. These include several original murals and a comprehensive collection of family memorabilia. Warner House is open to the public during the summer months. If you would like to join a guided tour of this grand old home you can check their website for details.
