Notes
  • Suggested address, Calderwood Road, is not verifiable in documentation.
  • Significance: "Spite" House, so called because of its origin, was built in 1806 by Thomas McCobb at Phippsburg Center. McCobb thought his mother had schemed to deprive him of his inheritance, and to spite her, made this building to overshadow her own residence. In 1925, it was moved by Donald D.Dodge from Phippsburg to its present location by barge. It is an outstanding example of early Federal architecture.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-36
  • Survey number: HABS ME-75
  • Building/structure dates: 1806 Initial Construction
  • Building/structure dates: 1925- 1926 Subsequent Work
