119 (left) and 130 (center) Bolton Hill Road, Augusta, ME. Today known as Western View Golf and Pub, located in the building partially located at the very bottom of this photo. Starting there - this building looks much the same, though the trees in front have since been cut down to provide parking for patrons. The same parking along the roadside seen here continues to be used, though the trees here are gone. The driving range still exists today in the same spot. The mini-golf area to its left was long gone by the 2010s, and the are had become heavily overgrown - today it is just used for storage.

At the far left is approximately 119 Bolton Hill Road, which looked much the same as seen here until between 2011 and 2018. The house, all ells, the barn, and small front shed stood as seen here (with a coat of white paint on the barn) until at least 2011 - sometime over the next 7 years the house was updated, and several portions removed. The ell that connected the barn to the house, which was sagging heavily in 2011, was demolished. The barn was either saved, or a new structure built in its place. The small shed was saved, but the ell behind it lost. Today the home is a brown color, and still has the rear house ell, barn, and small outbuilding.
