 | | For years, the Treats and Peirces lived side-by-side, in the mansion and in what is now known as the Waldo Peirce Reading Room (which was, to make things even more confusing, built by a Treat). |
 | | As the Treats were known for shipbuilding and lumber, the Peirces were known for their involvement with Mount Waldo Granite Works, which supplied granite for projects as large as the Washington Monument and as small as the foundation of the Treat-Peirce house, which is hand-etched with hundreds of X's. |
 | | The Peirces owned the house until 1926, and after that, it changed hands several times, from the Halls and Welches to the Bigelows, and finally to Harrison, who bought the house in May of 1988. |
