Isabelle Beuttell Dayton, 76, the oldest of nine
children to grow up on the property, said she and
her siblings heard from adults that its previous
name was Paradise Inn, but they always called it
The Big House. The siblings, their children and
many great-grandchildren often visited the estate
before it was sold in 2001.
Dayton said there were stories about roulette
wheels in the gathering room. It was a “road
house. Liquor bottles were found in a wall during
remodeling,µ she said. When she Àrst lived in the
house as a child, a man walked up and asked for
a drink. “I wish now we had asked him in for a
drink to ask him some questions.”
Some longtime residents remember stories
about the house being used for gambling, but
they don·t believe the myths and rumor that it
was a house of illrepute. They conÀrm stories
of people buying liquor there and secretly going
there to drink and enjoy themselves.
The truth will likely never be known.
