HISTORY via Bangor Daily News
According to historian Deborah Thompson, in her 1988 book “Bangor,
Maine: An Architectural History,” John Godfrey, a Bangor lawyer and
later Judge of Probate, built the house according to his romantic
sensibilities, naming it Cliff Cottage for the nearby Lover’s Leap
cliff, so-named for a local legend involving a Native American couple
leaping to their deaths. Many of the original elements of the interior
remain, such as the inlaid parquet floors and the fireplace, and the
exterior has been painted gray for all of its 172 years.
Cliff Cottage was home to the Godfreys for several generations, and many
members of the family held prominent roles in Bangor history, including
Edward Rawson Godfrey, a local lawyer who started Bangor’s first
airfield in 1927.
In the mid-20th century, the house was sold to the Kellogg family,
including Dr. Robert Kellogg and his wife, Juliet Spangler Kellogg, and
their six children, Bob, Judy, Betty, Zip, Sara and Mary. In 2002, the
Kelloggs sold the house to James and Ellen Tobin, the present owners.
