Laura Richards House
The house was built about 1810 by Ebenezer Byram, who had purchased the land from Robert Hallowell Gardiner. In 1878, it was purchased by Henry and Laura E. Richards. Laura Richards (1850-1943) was the daughter of Samuel Gridley Howe and Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Richard was Gardiner's grandson. The couple moved to Gardiner in 1876 after suffering financial reverses, and it was about that time that Laura Richards began her writing career. She is best known for a series of children's books, and was a corecipient of the inaugural Pulitzer Prize for a biography of her mother.
