Acadian Historic Buildings (Roy House) - Van Buren, Aroostook County
Located in the Acadian Village on Route 1 in Van Buren, the Roy House was originally located in Hamlin, Maine, and moved to its current location after 1977. The log house features piece-on-piece (or pice sur pice) construction with hand-hewed or squared timber stacked together and held at the corners in the "stacked and pegged" style. This method of construction was popular with French Canadian settlers, but the University Maine at Fort Kent notes this configuration had not been physically documented previously.
