"The house on the left was built by Rev. Oliver Fernald and in 1926 his daughter, Louise Fernald (later Mrs. Lynn M. Goulding) sold it to Miss Mary E. Dreier of New York who remodeled it and named it Valour House in memory of the band of the Jesuit settlement of 1813. The farmhouse on the right was built in the early 1800's. In 1842 it was remodeled and made into a two family dwelling for Eben and Daniel Fernald. The brothers lived there and worked the farm for many years." - Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, p 138 and 9 - 1938.

The house was later sold by Louise to the Dreiers.

In 2007, the house on the left was owned by Mrs. Rhys Williams and the house on the right was still owned by the Dreier family.
