"The house now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Edward W. [Wyatt] Evans of Germantown, Pa., was built in the 1890's for John L. Stoddard, the travel lecturer. His family spent several seasons in the house. It was later owned by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Piper of Sudbury, Mass., who sold it to Mr. Evans." - Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S.
