33. James Campbell House, c. 1860 - C New street
The James Campbell House is a commodious two-and-a-half-story, transitional Greek Revival-Italianate style frame dwelling sheathed in weatherboards. It has a five-bay facade featuring a projecting vestibule with Greek Revival detailing. The original six-over-six double-hung windows survive. Wide paneled corner pilasters rise to a broad bracketed cornice. The side gable ends are treated in an equal manner. At the rear is a twostory ell with an Italianate porch and a deteriorated connected barn. The house rests on a granite foundation, and it has two interior chimneys in the main block.
J. Campbell is indicated as the resident of this house in 1861, and his widow was still here in 1881. The 1857 Maine Register lists Campbell as a carpenter and ship joiner. It is not known whether he built this house for himself.
