Built as a summer home for Harley Proctor, the classical revival style house is said to have been designed to resemble a bar of Ivory Soap.

The Proctors occupied the house for just a short time, selling it in 1919 to Graham Root, who used it as a real estate office. Subsequent uses included a charm school in the 1930’s, a guesthouse, and office space. In 1942 it became Gateways Inn, by which name it is still known.
