Photo 20-ASA-31

Comments

This was the home of Susie Barber and was on the property where Proctor and Joanne Wells now live.

983 Main Road (Rt. 209) in Phippsburg, Maine. This is the last propery on the right hand side of the road immediately prior to turning right onto Basin Road. Speculating here, but this land was partitioned during the settlement of Mark Langdon Hills estate in the late 1840s. There is a survey that identifies who was bequeathed this property...this home most likely dates from just a little after the estate settlement. Unfortunately, this home (a classic New England big house-little house-back house-barn) is no longer with us. If one looks at Google maps you can pick out the rough boundaries of the location due to discoloration of the grass in the area.
