The Osgood Family House, located on Main Street south of Fryeburg's commercial center, is a two-story frame dwelling sheathed in clapboards with a hip roof. It sits on a granite block foundation and has a central six-panel door framed by sidelights and an elliptical louvered fan that is protected by a bracketed projecting cornice. The house has many notable exterior details including a thin cornice decorated with a molding of semi-circles along the top of the front facade. Built at the turn of the nineteenth century, local lore indicates it was built for Henry Young Brown Osgood. He was named after one of the towns earliest inhabitants, Henry Young Brown. Osgood's father settled the property in the eighteenth century after Fryeburg was incorporated in 1777. He built the home for his son Henry and it stayed in the Osgood family until 1940. It currently houses a law office.
