On the exterior, the Hussey-Littlefield House is an attractive, well proportioned, Greek Revival and Italianate style farm house with a series of ells connecting the house to the New England-plan barn. Set on a rural 6.8 acre lot surrounded by fields and other older farmhouses, this c. 1838 house displays a comfortable dignity that befits its location and style. At a passing glance, an observer might be forgiven to imagine that this structure has descended unchanged as a relic of a simpler, easier, pastoral past. But under the skin of clapboards and shingles, this house, as with so many in rural Maine, is an example of an evolving architectural approach that echoed the agricultural challenges and trends of the nineteenth century. The Hussey-Littlefield House was recently listed in the National Register of Historic Places as an excellent example of a New England connected farm complex, a type of property that is found almost exclusively in Northern New England.
