Greek Revival Home
This image is of a large, center hall Greek Revival house featuring the "big house, little house, back house, barn" configuration of connected architecture characteristic of northern New England farmsteads. A sign reading "This Estate for Sale - Apply to Orren J. Dickey Belfast, Me." hangs on a tree at the left. The size of the house and its two chimneys, indicating a center hall floor plan, and roomy attic, must have been built by a person---likely a farmer given the inland location-- of some wealth for the time and place.
