Collinwood was the Gothic mansion owned by the Collins family of Collinsport, Maine. Built by Joshua Collins in the late 1600s, it boasted over forty rooms and various secret passageways and hidden vaults. By 1970, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard was the family matriarch and conducted all of the family's business interests from the privacy of her own office. After her passing, the estate was passed down to the last existing adult member of the Collins family, Quentin Collins, who took up residence in the Great House with his new wife Tracy in 1971.
