Built in 1761, it is a rare surviving example of Georgian architecture in Maine's rural interior. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1985.[1] Description and historyThe Purington House stands in the northwestern interior reaches of Falmouth, on the west side of Mast Road, a short way south of Pride Farm Road. The main house is a 2-1/2 story timber frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and stone foundation. It has a number of additions, including a 20th-century garage and an ell joining it to a 19th-century barn. Its front facade is symmetrically arranged, with a center entrance topped by three-light transom window, and framed by a modest surround with entablature. Windows are either six-over-six or nine-over-six sash, and are framed by narrow molding, similar to that found at the building corners and in the interior. Also located on the property is an L-shaped 19th century barn.[2] The house was built in 1761 by Elisha Purington, a Quaker who had a reputation throughout New England as a clockmaker. He is also known to have served the local community as a blacksmith and gunmaker. The roof his recently-built house was torn off during a hurricane in 1767. The assemblage of surviving 18th and 19th-century buildings is among the finest in a rural inland setting in the state.[2] See also
