9. House, c. 1920 - C Route 1
The existing appearance of this one-and-a-half-story, three-bay frame dwelling dates from the early twentieth century when a thorough remodeling was undertaken on an earlier building. Sheathed in weatherboards, the house has a granite block foundation and a hipped roof punctuated by dormers. A simple porch shelters the two-leaf central entrance.
The 1861 wall map shows that Alexander Campbell's residence was located on this site at that time. Twenty years later the property was held by his estate. At present the original configuration is not known. However, the present building must in some way be associated with the Campbell house site since it clearly stands upon an early foundation. Alexander Campbell was the grandson and namesake of one of Cherryfield's early settlers and the builder of the house (1) which stands across the road.
