Tupper Manor |
| Architect Guy Lowell, of
Museum of Fine Arts fame, designed and built “Allanbank” for Bryce
J. Allan and his wife, Anna, in 1904. The property included the
Italianate-style main house and stables.
Mr. Allan was the son of Sir Hugh Allan, founder and president of
the Allan Lines Shipping Company and the Canadian Pacific Ocean
Services, Ltd. of Montreal, Canada. Bryce J. Allan was a lover of
horses and for years kept his prize thoroughbreds at the stable.
Endicott College purchased the property in 1943 after the death of
Mrs. Anna Allan. The house was used as a residence hall, and the
stables were converted to classrooms. Today, Tupper Manor is part of
the Conference Center at Water’s Edge.

Winthrop Hall |
| The house, named “Thissellwold”,
for its original owner John Thissell, was built in 1845. A hidden
stairway gave refuge to slaves heading for Canada via the
underground railway in the 19th century. In 1911, Louisa Loring
Dresel and her brother, Ellis, occupied the house. She was an artist
and photographer and he was a career diplomat, a signer of the Peace
Treaty after World War II. The property was purchased as a summer
home in 1932 by New York financier John Barry Ryan. From 1942 to
1944, during World War II, the United States Coast Guard leased the
Georgian-style house as part of coastline security. Endicott
purchased the property in 1944 from Mr. Ryan. Renamed for John
Winthrop, the early Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, Winthrop
was the home of the College’s first president, George Bierkoe, his
wife Eleanor Tupper and their two daughters, until 1959.
