Built in 1874 for Galen C. Moses, the house became an instant celebrity in Bath when Jim and Larry purchased it in 1994 to create a bed & breakfast. Departing from traditional local house colors, this Italianate structure was draped in the most vivid colors of plum, pink and teal, thus its nickname, "The Pink House."

There are surprises throughout the house, from the elegant gardens and rooms filled with tasteful antiques, to the full theater located on the third floor and once used to entertain officers from the nearby Naval Air Station during World War II.

The house contains a number of spirits, other than the sherry served at 5:00 pm. Our ghosts, assuredly friendly, are likely to make their presence felt on a frequent basis. Early evening finds guests relaxing on the porches, which surround the house or taking a leisurely stroll along the waterfront.
