Photo 74-AKE-13

Comments

I believe this is in the area of 2293 N Belfast Ave/ME-3, Augusta, ME. A portion of the home at the center was still standing as of 2016 - everything from the sort of gambrel-roofed addition back, including the ells and barn still stood. Between 2016 and 2019 the property was sold, and the house was demolished - only a small outbuilding survived. A portion of the lot was logged in 2022/2023, but is otherwise unused.

The properties at the left, 2287 (closer to photographer) and 2293 (at the extreme left) still stand today, as do their garages. Prior to 2007 2287 received modern siding, and windows on the front were likely changed. The front porch of 2293 was completely walled in by 2007, and the trees in front were either cut or fell between 2013 and 2016. In general the back and sides of these lots are much more overgrown today.

The large field at the top/center of the photograph is now home to a commercial building, Knight's Farm Supply.
