36. Frederick S. Nickels House, 1893-94 - C High Street
Asaph Allen, Architect and Builder
One of two houses erected along High Street, this two-story hip roofed Colonial Revival style dwelling features a full width front porch, portecochere, and a rear ell that extends to a carriage house. The entire complex is sheathed in weatherboards. The two-bay facade features the porch whose shallow hipped roof is supported by four Tuscan columns and is framed by the original balustrade. Wide corner boards meet the unarticulated cornice. Two large chimneys punctuate the roof of the main block. The porte-cochere projects from behind the front block's southeast corner and intersects with the recessed two-stage ell. The carriage house, which is also covered by a hip roof, features a louvered ventilator.
The construction of this house is first noted in the July 14, 1893,
edition of the Machias Republican. This same newspaper reported its
completion for dentist Nickels in its December 15, 1894, edition.
