Set on a hill in South Windham, the Parson Smith House is an intact example of Georgian-style architecture best evidenced by its large and bulky massing especially compared to its small windows, which are comprised of many small panes.

All of the houses and buildings sit in close proximity on seven streets and exhibit traditional architectural characteristics of symmetrical design typical for the time period.

New Gloucester's significance is evident in this historic district. It was one of the few well-established inland Maine communities during the late eighteenth century. The large variety of Federal-style two-story dwellings demonstrates the town's early prosperity, found mostly through agricultural pursuits. Thirty-one properties are listed in this district and twenty of them pre-date 1820. The land that became New Gloucester was granted to sixty citizens from Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1735.

Although construction of the Kate Douglas Wiggin House began in 1797, it was not completed until the early 1800s.

Born in Philadelphia, her family moved to Maine at an early age.
