Coe History
Just a little history added here about the Coe House, courtesy of my grandfather from his "Reminisces of Center Harbor" speech that I transcribed and posted some time ago. Time frame is 1895 or so.
"Back to the Square. Let’s go east. First was (and is) the stately Coe Mansion with its beautiful wall paper in the front room. Waddie (Wadsworth) Coe was a striking gentleman, frequently in a very stately garb of Colonial days. Not so along towards night when we would go up in the late afternoon and watch him milk his Jersey cows and incidentally get a cup of nice warm milk. Mrs. Coe was a charming little stately lady. She was librarian, the library held an ell on the west side of the main dwelling."
