The Groton Inn Property Has Been Sold to P&A Developer-Clients Chris Ferris and Rich Cooper

We congratulate our clients and friends – Rich Cooper and Chris Ferris – on their recent acquisition of the property at 128 Main Street, Groton, the former location of the historic Groton Inn. The Groton Inn was constructed in 1678 and was thought to be one of the longest continuously operated inns in the United States. The list of people who left their names on the Groton Inn’s register includes Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Andrew Carnegie and Paul Revere also stayed at the historic property.  Groton residents and neighbors were extremely dismayed to learn that the building burned in 2011.

However, Chris and Rich have approvals to construct a modern iteration of the inn, paying homage to the form, scale, materials, siting and other aspects of the historic property. Guest rooms and a restaurant will occupy the main building and an array of detached guest houses will be built toward the rear of the property.

For more information about the history of the Groton Inn, email P&A and we will forward a PDF containing the National Register of Historic Places nomination written by a local historian in 1976.
