The homes of our forefathersBeing a selection of the oldest and most interesting historical houses, and noted places in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont . THE COL. NATHANIEL GILMAN HOUSE, EXETER, N. H. TMs historical mansion was built by Dr. Dudley Odlin about 1730-6, and after his death was owned andoccupied by the Oilman family for upwards of 100 years. A wing and piazza has been added to it, but themain building has not been materially changed. It is now occupied by Hon. Chas. H. Bell, and is in an excel-lent state of THE GOVERNOR GILMAN HOUSE, EXETER, N. H. The land on which this house stands was bought by Nathaniel Ladd of EHphalet Coffin in 1721. Themain part is brick, which has been clapboarded to correspond with a wooden addition, and was built prior to1732. Daniel Oilman, father of Nicholas {State Treasurer) and grandfather of the subsequent owner, Gov. , bought it in 1747 for his son. It has ever since—save for a brief period—been in possession of theOilman connection. Its present owner and occupant, John Taylor Perry, is a great grandson of Nicholas Gil-man. It is a fine and interesting old mansion, and is in an excellent state of preservation, having been com-pletely renovated with very few alterations. Its paneled walls and small paned windows remain as they werea century or more ago.
