The Brown-Pilsbury Double House, located on Franklin Street, is a two-story Federal-style frame building with clapboard sheathing and a gable roof. It is referred to as a double house because it housed two families with prominent entrances on the gable ends of the house. Both units are near identical with a tight spiral staircase near each entrance. Each exterior entry features an ornate door surround of capped pilasters and entablatures.

At the time of Holmes residence here, the fifteen-room dwelling had two formal rooms with elaborate woodwork, a circular staircase in the front hall, and vaulted ceilings on the second floor.

Outwardly unassuming, this house is thought to be one of the oldest in Vassalboro. The Farwell family built the house and many members are buried in a small family plot across Route 201 which is visible from the small dormer. The house remained in the Farwell family until the 1840s when it was conveyed to the Brown family. Several members of the Brown family served in the Maine State Legislature in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Comprised of York Corner, York Village, and York Harbor, the York Historic District represents the town's evolution as a colonial trading center to a nineteenth-century tourist destination.

The town was incorporated in 1652, making it the second oldest town in Maine after Kittery. Like other towns, York experienced Native American attacks throughout the seventeenth century and was destroyed in the Raid on York in 1692.

Located nearly two miles north of Route 25 in rural Porter, the Old Meeting House is a two-story frame building that sits on a granite foundation.

The side-gabled roofed building is sheathed in clapboard siding and has a door on each end of the front faade. The interior is open with a three-sided gallery and original box pews.

Built in the Federal style with a Colonial-era ell, the Lord Mansion is one of the many impressive homes along Summer Street.

Jonas Clark, a local judge, bought the property in 1789 and built the main Federal-style structure. It is two stories tall with a flat roof, set back from the road. The symmetrical facade is faced in flush sheathing while the other elevations are clapboard sided.

The Levi Sargent House is a one-and-a-half story cape built with hewn logs and is a good example of nineteenth-century domestic log construction.

The ell is wood framed using mortise and tenon components. Sargent was a farmer and Methodist minister. His father, Daniel, moved to the area in the 1790s. They acquired two tracts of land totaling 109 acres. Soon after marrying Deliverance Sawyer, Levi built this home.
