Hunnewell House

The Hunnewell House is one of the oldest surviving structures in the United States state of Maine. Located on Old County Road near Black Point Road in Scarborough, Maine, this modest single-story building was probably built in 1702-03 by Richard Hunnewell, who had first settled Scarborough in 1684. Although, the exact year of construction is in doubt, with some accounts listing it as 1673. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is now owned and maintained by the town.

The Hunnewell House is located in central Scarborough, in a triangular wooded island formed by Black Point Road , Old County Road, and Winnocks Neck Road. It is a 1-1/2 story Cape style wood frame structure, three bays wide, with clapboard siding and a stone foundation. Its windows are 19th-century sash windows, and the main door is topped by a four-light transom window. The interior of the house follows a typical central-chimney plan, with a small entry vestibule with a winding staircase to the attic, and rooms to either side. Trim and decoration are minimal.
