Brickett Place, located on Evans Notch Road (Route 113) in Stow, is an uncommon example of a Federal-era brick farmhouse. It was built by John Brickett using locally fired bricks and hand-hewn timber for his family, which grew to include nine children. The house features simple details such as flat brick arches over the windows and a three-light transom above the entry door and is distinctive for its almost square footprint. Brickett came to Maine from New Hampshire in c.1803. He built his house before purchasing the land it occupied. He eventually purchased it and 50 acres in 1820. The Brickett's lived in a remote area and during their lifetimes the end of what became Evans Notch Road terminated at the house. The house is currently located in the White Mountain National Forest and has been owned by the U.S. Forest Service since 1918. It was used as part of a work center for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. It is open to the public seasonally.
