532 Dirigo Road, China, ME. this home and its ell still stand, though changes have occurred. The ell may have been extended, and two garage bays were constructed on to the front. The small porch was lost, and the roof was replaced with a metal one (all occurring before 2011). The doors and windows seen here have also been replaced, and the gardens in the rear are now gone.

680 Dirigo Road, South China, ME. This home still looks substantially similar as seen here. Easily identifiable by the large chimney, it still stands and the only changes noticeable to the home are shutters and a new metal roof. The closest shed/garage still stands, and a longer building was constructed just behind it. While the outbuildings at the rear of the property are gone today, the path is still visible and new buildings are present in the same general area.

800 (top), 804 (center), and 810 (bottom - barn can only be seen here) Dirigo Road, South China, ME. Starting at the bottom, only the barn of 810 Dirigo Road can be seen here. This building was lost sometime prior to the 2010s, and replaced with a 2-story, 2-bay gambrel garage. At 804 Dirigo Road only a few changes have occurred. The house, ell, and barn all still stand, though the barn has lost the pitch-roof addition closest to the photographer (sometime prior to 2010). Windows have been replaced, but otherwise this home looks much the same. 800 Dirigo Road has changed very little. The house has modern siding and the roof was replaced with a metal one, but otherwise looks similar to as seen here.

Again as the above visitor stated this is the center of Weeks Mills Village, with the following (approximate) addresses, left to right: 483 Weeks Mills Road, which is much of the left of the photograph (demolished prior to 2007), 479 Weeks Mills Road (center), and 475 Weeks Mills Road (right). As stated above the leftmost house, approx. 483 Weeks Mills Road, burned well before the 2000s, and no remnants of this structure exist today. The building at the center, once a store and hotel, was a gas station and store by the 60s. The pumps were removed by the 2000s, and the store was closed. The building was converted to apartments, but has seen better days today. The staircase and porches to the left are gone, but the front porch, windows, and dormer still exist, as does the small garage to its right. To the right, 275 Weeks Mills Road, still stands as well. Only the ell and the former barn/garage are pictured here . The barn is long gone, but the home looks similar. The first floor window seen here has since been removed, and the interior has been converted to apartments. I believe that only the smaller home across the street still stands.

As the visitor above stated, this is the Y intersection of Tyler Road (center) and Weeks Mills Road (bottom), address of 9 Tyler Road, South China, ME. The house and barn still sand, and look relatively similar. The front porch remains the same, but the rear has since been enclosed and made into living space. At some point the house was repainted in one color, and is now a very bright blue. the hedgerows near the roads have since been cut, but small trees, shrubs, etc. have begun to grow in its place, and is generally overgrown today.

Approximately 46 Demerchant Road, China, ME. This home and its associated ells and barns was lost to either fire or demolition prior to 2007. The former driveway is now Demerchant Road, which leads to a few homes constructed well behind the pond seen at the right of this photo.

104 Windsor Road, China, ME. This home still stands and looks much the same, though the other features of the property have changed. The large curving driveway has fallen out of use, and trees stop it from continuing after reaching the side of the house. Some of the trees in front have since matures, and block the house from the road somewhat. The barn behind the house still stands, but the left portion has started to sag. The larger barn at the top left is long gone, and the edges of the lot are now more wooded. Where the truck is by that barn in this photo is now Demerchant Road, which leads to a few homes built well back from the road.

164 Windsor Road, South China, ME. The shutters have been removed, and the porch windows filled in and replaced with full walls and smaller windows. A garage/barn was built just behind the house on the left side, and another in the wooded rea behind where the car is in this photo. The small building at the left was moved back on the lot at some point. The trees and plants in front have all since been removed, and is now just mowed grass.

I believe this is 92 Weeks Mills Road, China, ME. The home and garage now stand, though both are covered in aluminum or vinyl siding (a tan color), and an enclosed hallway was built between the house and the garage at some point. The windows in front have been updated, but the ones on the left still occupy the same space. The ones on the right have since been replaced with standard windows. The tire tracks leading to the rear is where a house now stands, hidden behind a row of trees.

218 Weeks Mills Road, South China, ME. The home and its ell still stand, but both the barn and outbuilding were lost prior to 2011. The front of the home, where the garden is here, has since grown and blocks much of the house from the roadside. The large trees near the driveway have since been cut down or fallen, and the left edge and rear of the property is now more wooded.
