Rebecca W. Hobart writes in "Dennysville 1786-1986 . . . and Edmunds, too!" (p. 79): "In 1896 J.D. Allan tore down the original E.C. Wilder house [also known as Wilder's Hotel] . . . and had a handsome, two-story residence bult by Nathan Foster, who also built the Pomeroy mansion and Odd Fellows Hall in Pembroke. The new livery stable provided ample room for the increased number of horses which resulted from heavier traffic. Herbert H. Allan, son of John D., opened the fine home to the public as H. H. Allan's Hotel in 1932, operating it until his death in 1942. Herbert Allan's widow, Eleanor (Sherrard) succeeded him until the property was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnson Jr. who continued the public service as "Dennys River Inn."Collection
