643 Dirigo Road, China, ME. this home still stands, and the general shape has remained the same. All windows and doors are in the same place, however a porch was built off the leftmost door, and a one-bay garage built off the rear left of the house. The large barn was lost sometime prior to the 2010s, as was the small building near it. The other buildings to the far left still stand, and the driveway has been turned into a semi-circle.

This was my grandparents house, Lena and Lawrence Ouellette. They moved there from Fort Kent around 1950 to be closer to Togus Hospital. My father bought it around 1976 and moved back from Massachusetts. Myself and my siblings were raised here. My dad has passed away and I now own the house with my sister. This property has been in the Ouellette family for around 75 years.
