RUFUS K. PORTER HOUSE
Rufus K. Porter was a prominent attorney in Machias, and had his home built on Elm Street in 1825. This Federal period house was the birthplace of Henry Homes Porter, who funded the construction of the library. The house is delicately proportioned, has a hipped roof and doorway with fan and side lights, typical of this early period. AFN
