Chris Marr's house
Image of Chris Marr's house in Popham village. Visible in image: A general exterior view of Chris Marr's house showing the large wraparound front porch, bay window, and back porch with staircase and rain barrel. The house incorporate elements of Queen Anne architecture such as the bay window, patterned shingles, and decorative clapboards on the side and in the prominent front gable-end. The house still stands today on the road into Popham (Route 209), only a couple of hundred feet down the road from the Perkins house. The view is in the general direction of Popham Village from the road, albeit with a house in the way. The long building with three narrow windows, visible between the Marr house' porch posts, is Society Hall, built in 1880. Although there is no specific date given for this photograph, the house beyond Marr's on the left edge of the photo is absent in a photograph in One Man's World dated 1897, and present in another photograph in that book dated 1903.
