The Edmund E. Goodwin House in the Springvale village of Sanford, Maine was constructed in 1899 and is a late example of a well-detailed Queen Anne style residential structure. Built by a successful merchant, manufacturer, and community member whose family had once owned lumber yards and sawmills, this building has remained almost completely unaltered and retains a high degree of architectural integrity. The house and its attached carriage house feature a complex roof line, projecting bays and windows, multiple porches and stylistic detailing including scroll-cut applied ornamentation, patterned shingles and modillions. On the interior the building retains its original plan, most of its historic finishes (including some original wall paper) and a room of original furniture. The Edmund E. Goodwin House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its local architectural significance. The period of significance is 1899, the year in which the home was built.
