Notes
  • House is sometimes referred to stylistically as "English Regency," and contains duodecagon rooms.
  • Significance: This house represents a relatively rare form of Greek Revival architecture. Nominally, it is a variant of the temple-and-wings plan which forms a familiar sub-group in that style. However, by reason of the specific plan (paired duodecagons joined behind a story-and-half temple front), the intimacy of scale and detailing, and the siting, it is in fact a garden pavilion-house, referring (via Jefferson and Monticello) to this French type, as well as, by its delicacy, to English Regency work. (It is very possibly the only house of its type in Maine.)
  • Survey number: HABS ME-147
  • Building/structure dates: ca. 1839 Initial Construction
