The Philip Leach House is a well-preserved example of a Federal-style Cape house. It is a one-and one-half-story, clapboard-sided building with a side-gable roof. The faade is symmetrical with a central entry door. The door is framed by sidelight windows. The house is remarkable for the stencil work and floor painting in its parlor. Floral and abstract designs in green, red, and yellow adorn the walls, preserved after being covered by wallpaper. The floorboards are also painted, with freehand leaf patterns. The painting is likely the work of Moses Eaton, Jr., an itinerant painter from New Hampshire. Philp Leach was a lawyer and also served as East Vassalboro's postmaster.
Year Listed: 1983
