30. J. Strout House, c. 1855 - C New street
Combining a basic Greek Revival form with Italianate style details, this one-and-a-half-story three-bay frame dwelling has a gable front orientation and a hipped roof front porch. The porch, which is a turn of the century addition, has four Tuscan columns linked by a balustrade. Behind it, the side entrance is framed by pilasters and an entablature. Paneled corner boards rise to the cornice which is ornamented with brackets, a feature that continues around the house. A one-story ell at the rear extends to a connected barn. The house is sheathed in weatherboards.
On both the 1861 and 1881 maps of Cherryfield this house was occupied by J. strout. Little is as yet known about strout's occupation, and his relationship to local builder J. w. strout is not clear.
