Osgood Family House, c.1810 - Fryeburg, Oxford County
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.
