Wallingford Hall is a Federal home designed by Thomas Eaton in 1804 for George W. Wallingford, who was born in 1775, graduated from Harvard College in 1795, was admitted to the bar in 1798, and began practicing law in Kennebunk in 1800. He married Abagail Chadbourne of Berwick, Maine, in February 1806, and their daughter Elizabeth Abagail was born the following December. After his first wife's death in 1808, he married Mary Fisher of Kennebunk, daughter of Dr. Jacob Fisher, who was 13 years younger than he was. Wallingford was one of a committee of five citizens who petitioned for Maine to become a separate state from Massachusetts, which was accomplished in 1820. George Wallingford died in 1824 at the age of 49.
