THE HISTORY: 546 Main Street, located in the national historic district of Rockland, Maine, began in 1833 as a Federal Colonial house built of gray granite quarried nearby in St. George. Local craftsmen fashioned the beautiful structure that still stands today. The house was built for Capt. Robert Perry, a “well-known mariner.”
In 1906, the Elks Club purchased the building for their clubhouse, adding the large wooden wing to the rear. The building was heavily damaged by fire in the 1940’s. The terrazzo floors and woodwork date from the building’s restoration.
In 1984, through renovation and restoration, the property was converted into the lovely, comfortable Granite Inn, formerly known as The Old Granite Inn.
The current owners/innkeepers have been greeting guests from around the world since their purchase of the property in 2006.
