OHU50K NOTES
This quintessential Maine home is what is known as a connected farm complex. Especially prominent in New England, such structures consisted of the “big house” or family living quarters, which was connected to the “little house” which typically contained the kitchen.
Next came the “back house,” which was traditionally a carriage house. (This home does not have that section.) Then came the livestock barn.
This style was conducive to farming in the cold, harsh winters of New England. Many areas, however, banned connected farm complexes due to fire concerns. Such bans were lifted in the 18th century.
For those who love this type of flooring (including me), this home is linoleum rug heaven.
