Photo 23-FSA-35

Comments

This is the home that "was" on the property at Robinhood Marine Center. It was moved across Riggs Cove via barge to the Knubble where it stands today. I think it was moved during the 1970s.

This is the Moses Riggs house. Moses was the son of Benjamin Riggs, born in 1795. He was a religious man and chairman of the committee building the Robinhood Free Meeting House. Therefore, this house and the meetinghouse are of a similar style. The ‘el’ on this house is much older than the main building.
