Major General Alexander Campbell built this two-story house on Campbell Hill. Considered a "distinguished" man in eastern Maine, Campbell served in the military during the French and Indian War and commanded a militia during the American Revolution. Like many in the area, he was prosperous in the lumber industry. He also served in the Massachusetts State Senate, was a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, an original overseer of Bowdoin College, and negotiated a treaty with the Passamaquoddy Indians. Little documentation exists about the original configuration of the house, though its Federal era construction is indicated by its low-pitched hipped roof and substantial brick chimneys. The addition of Italianate-style features in the 1870s are most prominent, including bay windows, a porch with square columns, and a gabled hood supported by thick brackets.
Year Listed: 1977
