Captain Samuel Jamesons Home - Freeport, Maine
Captain Samuel Jamesons Home - Freeport, Maine
Built in 1779 by Dr. John Hyde, the house was sold later to Landlord Jameson who made it one of the best taverns in the Province of Maine. It was built on a solid ledge and very large timber was used in its construction. Long afterward it was sold to a Mr. Codman who also kept it as a public house, but at the time the articles of separation were signed, it was known as the Jameson Tavern.

Sherman Jameson House - Davis Point, Friendship, Maine
Sherman Jameson built this house next to the Jameson & Wotton Wharf to be used by his family members in the mid 1920s. Jameson's sisters made ice cream and pies to sell to passengers as they disembarked from the steamboat that brought them to Friendship. The proceeds from sales were used to pay educational expenses for Sherman Jameson's son and nephews.

Sherman Jameson House - Friendship, Maine
Sherman Jameson House - Friendship, Maine
Sherman Jameson built this house shortly after the turn of the century on land purchased from his friend Walter Wotton. The large two-stroy porch and Palladian window under the eaves are typcial of Victorian houses. Slightly ahead of his time, he had the builders install wiring in anticipation of the time when the town would town run power lines down the road.

The house was placed on a rise in the land that allowed its inhabitants to see the harbor and the Jameson & Wotton Wharf.
