Singhi Double House, Knox County, 1891
The Singhi Double House, built in 1891, is a good example of a modest, Queen Anne Style double house located in the Knox County town of Rockland, Maine. The two-family dwelling with mirrored elevations and floor plans is a late example of a large number of double houses that were built in Rockland between 1837 and the early twentieth century. By 1912 over 125 double houses were erected in Rockland - almost 10 percent of the city's residential building stock and they ran the gamut from small, vernacular capes to architect designed high-style dwellings with significant square footage.
