The Deacon Andrew Dunning House, located on Route 123, is a two-story dwelling that sits on a rubble stone foundation. It has a side-gabled roof with a central chimney and is sheathed in clapboard siding. The facade is symmetrical with a central paneled door that sits within a pedimented vestibule. Little is known about Andrew Dunning before moving to Harpswell. His father, William, was a cobbler, but Andrew likely had a seafaring profession. He was married with three children when construction on the house began in the mid-eighteenth century. Dunning was a prominent town citizen.

Located east of Paris proper, the Robinson-Parsons House is an excellent example of the Federal style. The main block of the house was finished in 1803 and was added to the front of what is now a rear ell. The rear ell was constructed c.1795. The side-gabled house exhibits unique features such as brick end walls and an elaborately carved cornice and central door surround. The surround consists of pilasters supporting a delicately carved frieze below a projecting cornice. A fanlight with fine muntins tops the paneled wood door.

The Fuller-Weston House is a Federal-style residence with a hipped roof with small modillion blocks located under the eaves. The front entry is centered on the symmetrical front faade and is now covered by a c. 1900 porch. The door is accented by pilasters, ornate sidelights, and a louvered fan. The house is significant because of its association with three prominent judges. Henry Weld Fuller, the house's builder, purchased 100 acres of land in 1818 in what would become the center of Augusta. He was a lawyer who eventually served as the Judge of Probate in Kennebec County.

The John Moore House is distinctive as one of the oldest in the Mid-Coast with portions of the house dating to c. 1741. European-American settler John Moore originally constructed a one-and-one half story Cape house on this crest overlooking the tidal estuary of the Sheepscot River. Moore sold the property to John Grey in 1764 and Grey, requiring more space for a large family, enlarged the cape to its current form around 1765. The central entrance is simple with sidelights added in the early nineteenth century.

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.

Designed by notable architect Alexander Parris, the Joseph Holt Ingraham House is one of the oldest on the Portland peninsula. While it has lost some of its original elements, the refined details of the entry porch and the windows above it are representative of the Federal style. The central entry is sheltered by a hip-roofed entry porch supported by slender Doric columns. The entry door is framed by sidelights and topped by an elliptical fanlight window. The cornice is made up of two bands of delicate decorative elements topped by a projecting molded upper band.

Built at the end of the eighteenth century, the John Dunlap House is a large Federal-style house with a side-gabled roof, two large internal brick chimneys, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The two-story dwelling has a central entrance and a partially enclosed portico decorated with an entablature and cornice supported by a pair of fluted Ionic columns. The entry is framed by sidelights and a transom. Dunlap was the son of Brunswick's first minister. He made a considerable fortune within the fur, lumber, and shipping trades.

Located on the western shore of Keuka Lake at the intersection of Routes 35 and 37, the Waterford Historic District consists of eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century buildings. The district encompasses the governmental and commercial center of Waterford, but also includes many residential and religious buildings. The Town of Waterford was first surveyed in 1775 and the first European-American settler to arrive in this area (known as "The Flats" for its even topography among several hills) was Eli Longley in 1793.

The How Houses are three architecturally and historically significant buildings that were built by members of the How family. They are three-story Federal-style brick homes located in close proximity to one another. All are side gabled with symmetrical facades with interior end chimneys. Characteristic of the style, the entries are framed by either sidelight windows or pilasters and topped by fanlight windows. Both the John and Joseph How Houses have recessed arched entries. Daniel How was a hatter who came to Portland in 1795 from Methuen, Massachusetts.

Portland's Eastern Cemetery is unique among the "Present at Statehood" series because it offers a different context in which to consider the social history, architecture, and design found across Maine. The Eastern Cemetery was chartered in 1668 on a plot of land at the base of Munjoy Hill, sloping about 30 feet downward toward the harbor. It is filled with over 4,000 gravestones of varying shapes, sizes, and carvings.
