During the late nineteenth- and early twentieth centuries the Foster-Redington House in Waterville, Maine was the home of two prominent men. The Queen Anne-style house was constructed by Moses C. Foster in 1883 as his own residence, and at the time was recognized as the first example of this architectural style in Waterville. Foster was a celebrated and prolific builder and contractor with important commissions for public buildings, churches and hotels throughout Maine and New Hampshire, as well as in Washington, D.C. and New Brunswick Canada.

The Union Meeting House in the Washington County town of Whiting is a locally rare example of a once-common type of nineteenth-century New England religious architecture. Erected in 1836, this symmetrically composed, timber frame building exhibits the proportions, features and composition of a Federal-style meeting house, but also has a prominent Greek-Revival style closed pediment on the fa?ade. Erected to serve both the Congregational and Methodist-Episcopal societies, the building is now the only church in this small, rural town.

Gooden Grant was a lobsterman who lived and fished out of Head Harbor, the southernmost harbor on the Knox County, Maine island of Isle au Haut. His career lasted over 75 years, from when he started fishing at age nine until he retired at age 84. During this span of time both the fishing industry and the island community experienced a period of great transition. His commodious, well-built and stylish home at a prominent location in Head Harbor attests to his success as a lobsterman, and signifies the historic importance of the local maritime economy.

Located on a rise overlooking Moosehead Lake and the town of Greenville, Maine is the former home of William M. Shaw. This elaborate, two-and-a-half story, wood-frame Queen Anne style house was built for one of Greenville?s most prosperous nineteenth-century residents at the height of his success; this is reflected in the building?s rich and ornate embellishments.

?Edgecliff?, a cottage in Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island on the coast of Maine, is a good, early example of a Shingle Style/Queen Anne coastal cottage. It is significant because it evolved from a Shingle Style cottage with Queen Anne elements when it was constructed in 1886-87 to a Shingle Style/Queen Anne hybrid after it was added onto in 1910-11. The new addition was more Queen Anne in style, but it used many design features to unify it with the original design.

The John and Maria Webb House is significant as an intact example of a stylistically-transitional residential building that incorporates both Federal- and Greek Revival-style elements and also as a rare surviving domestic building on Bridgton?s Main Street. Located in western Cumberland County in the southwesterly corner of the state, the house is a well-preserved, vernacular interpretation of two of Maine?s most popular nineteenth-century architectural styles, the Federal and the Greek Revival.

The Jean Baptiste Daigle House in Fort Kent, Maine is a well preserved example of an Acadian log house built following traditional, regional techniques.

Daigle, 1818-1860) in circa 1839-1844 it has been listed in the National Register for the architectural significance of the property as a relatively rare example of 19th century Acadian log construction.

The district contains 30 buildings or other historic resources either built or associated with the resort during that period.

The Clough Meeting House was constructed in 1846 by local farmer Henry M. Garcelon (1819-1884) to serve the Second Free Will Baptist Church of Lewiston. Located across the street from the Clough Cemetery, the attractive but austere one story, wood-frame building shares many characteristics common to rural mid-nineteenth century houses of worship, including symmetrical composition, few stylistic details and gable-front orientation.
