31. M. Coffin House, c. 1860 - C New street
Closely resembling its neighbor (30) to the north, this one-and-a-halfstory, two-bay frame dwelling has a wrap-around porch and a one-story rear ell. Its gabled facade is composed of the porch, which carries across the front and along the south side where it ends in enclosed bays, sheltering a side entrance and a bay window. A trio of six-over-six windows with bracketed hoods occupies the upper story. Modillion blocks ornament the horizontal and raking cornice. The house is sheathed in weatherboards.
M. Coffin is indicated as the resident of this house on both the 1861 and 1881 maps. In the 1857 Maine Register one Moses Coffin is listed as a carpenter and ship joiner in Cherryfield.
