The Cherryfield Historic District is a discontinuous area approximately seventy-five acres in size resting on both sides of the Narraguagus River. Located on Route 1 and framed by secondary roads Routes 182 and 193, there are fifty-two contributing and ten non-contributing residential and commercial buildings that represent a wide selection of architectural styles roughly beginning in 1790 to 1947. Due to the proximity of the river, Cherryfield flourished as a lumber milling and shipping center. Many of the structures within the district depict the community's economic development throughout the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with many popular residential styles from that era including a notable group of Second Empire dwellings. The earliest buildings date from the Federal period, but the district also include Italianate, Gothic, Greek and Colonial Revival styles. The most recent building types include one bungalow, constructed in 1947, and a commercial building built during the 1930s. Many prominent citizens from early settlers to successful businessmen and entrepreneurs constructed homes in this area.
