Summary

[edit]
Description

This photo is of the rear of the mansion and taken toward the sun. As a result I do not have a nice dark sky here.

Goddard Mansion was built in the early 1850’s for Colonel John Goddard and his family. Colonel John Goddard lead the 1st Marine Cavalry Regiment during the American Civil War. Judge Joseph Symond purchased the home in 1898 but shortly after the mansion was acquired by the United States Federal Government during the expansion of Fort Williams sometime between 1900 – 1911. Now the mansion was converted into housing for non-commissioned officers with the basement being used as the officer’s club. The mansion became abandoned ruins when Fort Williams was closed in 1962 and later sold in 1964.

There was a time when the Goddard Mansion ruins were open to the public to walk among the walls, unfortunately for safety concerns and maybe even vandalism the property is now fenced at several parts. Goddard Mansion stands the test of time and continuous to be a spot of history on the coast of Maine.
