Built in sections by about , the building has an unusual plan featuring two primary entrances and three formal front rooms on each floor which are backed by a series of small secondary rooms under a salt-box addition.
Although somewhat altered over the years, the primary rooms contain notable examples of Federal style woodworking, and the massing of the building is distinctive in a town that contains very little early 19th century architecture. The building, traditionally described as an inn, was owned by William Chaloner between and Census records suggest the presence of lodgers some of whom were foreigners.
In William Chaloner bought a small piece of property overlooking the Narrows in Lubec from Jabez Mowry, a local resident and land owner. Lubec was an isolated settlement until the British captured nearby Eastport in Shortly thereafter, refugees from Eastport resettled in Lubec and within five years a substantial settlement had developed.
Chaloner was born in , the son of a prominent Machias physician and Revolutionary War veteran of the same name. Sometime in , Chaloner and his young family moved to Lubec.
Apparently, his home served as the stage coach stop and as an inn. The price that Chaloner paid for the property suggests that some dwelling was there in , and it is not impossible that the house had been finished by that time.
The five rooms that retain their Federal woodwork and styling are consistent with regard to design, molding, vocabulary and finishes. As originally built the house contained two principal entrances and three large rooms on each floor. The chimneys were all located just inside the west exterior wall, and based, on the rubble and stone under the southernmost section, the kitchen was in the southeast or southwest room.
Thereafter the property was occupied by various Lubec families, at times as a rental property, and periodically as a multi-family home. Whether William Chaloner was an innkeeper during his sixteen year tenure might never be known. But it does appear that under his ownership the large house offered lodging of some fashion.
The interior arrangement of the rooms reflects a division of spaces that is outside the norm for the vast majority of late Federal-era houses. The presence of three formal front rooms on each floor, two prominent entryways and five small, unheated back rooms in the rear section suggests that the house was ultimately, if not initially, designed to provide both living quarters for a family and separate, less formal, facilities for boarders.
Chaloner House expands our conceptions of the living arrangements of 19th century residents of Lubec. Mitchell photos]. The lives of its owners in the 19th century and this house they lived in speak of the rapid pace of progress in the 19 th century along the coast of Maine. Almost overnight the wilderness of the Lubec area was transformed into an active center of commerce and industry. By the 20 th century towns such as Lubec became quiet once more.
The Lubec region, originally part of Eastport, then called Moose Island was settled in One of the first white men to arrive was Captain John Alien, a personal friend of George Washington who, as Superintendent of the Eastern Indian Tribes, cultivated friendly relations with the Indians during the Revolution.
