there lived a carpenter by the name of Isaac Gleason. Isaac was born in the heart of Victorian times. After his betrothal to Lucretia Brigham, he told his parents, Merrill and Sally, that he was going to build a house for his new family. In 1888, Isaac and Lucretia moved into their new home at 10 Bliss Road. Nearly a year later, Nellie was born. Nellie later had a sister Daisy. Issac opened his own business, Peckham & Gleason and helped build many of the local historic cottages of Newport. Isaac died young at the age of 47 of pneumonia in November, 1897. Lucretia during her lifetime had become a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Y.M.C.A and chairperson on the social committee, which was very progressive at the time. Daisy Gleason grew up and moved to Boston with her new family, the Whittemore's but often visited he beloved sister. (The family still resides in Wakefield, today.) Nellie remained at home with Lucretia and became a kindergarten school teacher at the Potter School. She was very well known teacher in town. Nellie gave piano lessons for many years in the livingroom, which to this day has always had a piano in the same corner. On New Year's Eve in 1934, Lucretia died and left her home to Daisy and Nellie. In 1974, Nellie left the house to her only surviving family, Daisy's children, Willard and Stanley. Six months after the inheritance, Willard and Stanley sold the family estate to the Kings who made it part of their lives for 14 years before selling. In the interim, the house has seen even more love, laughter and tears...now as Inn Bliss, it has continued to become part of the memories of all the guests who should enter to make it their home away from home.
