The Jacob Randall House is a historic house on Lawrence Road in Pownal, Maine. Built about 1800, it is a fine local example of Federal period architecture executed in brick. It was built for a prominent local citizen. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

Description and history

The Jacob Randall House stands in rural northern Pownal, on the west side of Lawrence Road, the principal north-south road leading from Pownal toward Lewiston. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, with a side gable roof, two internal chimneys, and a granite foundation. Its main facade is five bays wide, with its entrance in the central bay, recessed with a fanlight. The sides are two bays wide, and there is a single-story addition extending to the left side of later construction.[2]

In 1796, Jacob Randall, a native of Weymouth, Massachusetts, purchased over {{convert|100|acre|ha}} of land here, and had this house built. His property spanned the nearby Chandler River, which he dammed around 1800, establishing a sawmill and gristmill. When Pownal was incorporated in 1808, Randall was one of its first town selectmen, a seat he held nearly continuously until his death in 1836.[2]
