Atlantean, 11 Atlantic Avenue.

1887 July 9: George W. Hamilton purchased the land that would eventually be the location of the Atlantean from Thomas H. Swazey, Frederick H. Moses, and Edward Swazey (Hancock County Registry of Deeds book 216, pages 442–444).

1888 November 12: George W. Hamilton mortgaged the land, along with four other parcels, to Luere B. Deasey, John T. Higgins, George [H.?] Grant, and Fred C. Lynam (231:343–348).

1889 June 26: George [H.?] Grant sold his portion of this mortgage to Deasey, Higgins, and Lynam, along with 13 other mortgages that he held with them (237:44–46).

1889 September 9: The above mortgage was foreclosed on (237:522–524), with the property going to the mortgage holders (Deasey, Higgins, and Lynam).

1894 May 20: John T. Higgins died. Addie B. Dalrymple, the residuary legatee under his will, inherited his share of this mortgage (and, presumably, the 13 others).

1902 April 23: land (24,597 square feet) purchased by Frederick L. Savage (from Lynam, Deasey, and Dalrymple [see above]; 376:218–220); sale included “all buildings thereon except the ice house which is the personal property of a tenant”.

1903: built for Frederick L. Savage
