In 1916 the property was purchased by Richard Corrin whose family still owns it toe ay.Corrin made many alterations on the house during the 1920s, including removal of the Victorian facade ahd enclosure of the porches. He died in i952, and his second wife, Nettie, retained the property un il her death in 1971.The ownership of the house was then transferred to Mrs. Marie Campbell, Nettie’s daughter and Corrin’s adopted step-daughter.The Campbells recently remodeled the home, adding a large wing — but the basic stricture still stands.Although ihe foces living in the home have changed during the past 89 years, the Hartupee House has undergone only minor face lifting during the time.
