8. Blueberry Ford Garage, c. 1840, after 1925 - C Northeast Corner of Route 1 and Main street
Occupying one corner of the principal crossroads in Cherryfield, the Ford Garage consists of a one-story hipped roof frame building and a considerably· larger gabled structure offset from one corner. The latter section was remodeled into its present configuration between 1911 and 1925 when it was converted from a Greek Revival style former hotel bUilding with an engaged porch along the front and part of two sides. sometime after 1925, this block was moved back on the lot and the second building was erected. This later section has a shingled parapet enframing the roof as well as a variety of door and window openings below. The fenestration pattern of the earlier building was completely altered during and perhaps after its conversion from the original form. Wood shingles are largely employed as sheathing on the later addition whereas weatherboards cover the larger block.
