Gerald/Morris farm in the forefront. Neck Road, China, ME

In order: Approx. 283, 295, 305, 311, and 317 Neck Road, China, ME.
283 Neck Road, identified as the Gerald/Morris farm by Rick above, looks much the same. The house, ells, and large barn are all still standing and look very similar to this picture aside from new metal roofing over all portions. The smaller outbuilding behind the barn has been lost, as have the trees in front of the home.
At 295 Neck Road, only the chimneys of the home can be seen in this photo. That chimney still stands, however all of the barn/outbuildings behind it have been lost. The back line of this lot is a wooded line between it and the field behind. See 105-AKE-10 for a different angle.
The home at approximately 305 Neck Road was either demolished or heavily modified prior to the 2010s. The new home sits to the side of what appears to be the same tree out front, and is of a more modern (1990s-2000s) style. Trees completely block the property line of 295 and 305 today.
311 Neck Road looks much the same today, maintaining its brick exterior. This property is now fairly wooded as compared to this photograph, and is difficult to see in an aerial view. See 105-AKE-9 for a better view.
Finally, 317 Neck Road; only a small portion of this home can be seen here and it looks much the same, though the property line between it and 311 is now a wood line and the roof is now metal. See 105-AKE-11 for a better view.
