| Built in 1883, the Hygeia House served as both the homestead and practice
of Dr. John C. Champlin, one of the island's most successful hoteliers
and also the island's only physician. Nearly condemned by the town after
years of passive neglect and abandonment, the building was purchased and
fully restored in 1999 by Champlin Starr, the great grandson of Dr. Champlin,
and his wife Lisa. The Starrs and their two young children are the innkeepers. |
