261 Route 236, Berwick, Maine. House was built in 1880 according to town documents.

This house has been in our family for 4 generations. Now 223 Route 236

I clicked on this picture in error, this house was owned by Thomas and Rita Ouellette for many years.

Hi Eugene,
I can delete the wrong comment if you would like?

Hi...My name is Paul Ouellette and this is a picture of my home, owned by my parents Thomas and Rita Ouellette. Originally, it was the home of the Goodwin family for over 150 years and comprised around 140 acres. When my dad bought the place from Charles Goodwin's daughter in 1947, it had been 132 years since the second story was added. There was a large 3 story barn sitting behind the place but the roof was damaged in the 1938 hurricane and my father demolished it in the early '60. Dad renovated the carriage house (roof is barely visible to the right of the main house) in the 1980's because the walls had sunk into the dirt floor by 30 inches! Dad sold the place 2001.
