Viewed from both the roadside and a satellite image, this property is an example of a vacant historic Maine farmstead in a deteriorated condition.  The site includes a wood-framed house with a double-gable facade,  and a hybrid English-New England
style barn. Other structures can also be viewed in  a variety of sizes and types required for farming.  Fields extend to both the East and West.
