The Excelsior Grange #5 is a building which has served the town of Poland, Maine since 1914. Erected in that year to replace an earlier grange hall that had burned, the two story building displays restrained Georgian Revival stylistic details on the exterior and the functional interior plan common to many Grange buildings. It is one of a very few architect-designed granges in Maine and is probably the only grange designed by the Lewiston based architect Harry S. Wilkinson, who was a Poland native.

The Danville Junction Grange # 65 is a building which has served the community of Danville, a village in Auburn, Maine for 118 years. The building was erected by members of the Grange between 1898 and 1901 to serve as their meeting hall. The two story building is essentially vernacular in style but reproduces the functional plan common to many Grange buildings of this period. Throughout the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries the Grange, or Patrons? of Husbandry, was an important social and fraternal organization with an emphasis on agricultural education.

Now known as Starling Hall, the former Grange was listed in the National Register on April 5, 2016 for its significance in association with local social history as a fraternal organization and as a venue for local entertainment and recreation. Starling Hall is a modest building which has been an important social and community center in Fayette, Maine since 1879. Built in that year by members of the recently formed Starling Grange # 156 the building soon proved too small to adequately host events and it was subsequently enlarged in 1900.

Constructed in 1931-1936 in the suburban community of Falmouth, Maine, the Falmouth High School (former) was recently listed in the National Register of Historic Places at the local level of significance for its educational importance as the first high school erected in the town of Falmouth.

The Cottage on King's Row is a notable example of a Gothic Revival cottage that reflects the influence of mid-nineteenth-century architects and authors Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing. Erected c. 1854, this wood frame building exhibits the distinctive characteristics of the Gothic Revival style including asymmetry, steep roof slopes decorated with vergeboard and finials, and windows and doors accented by label moulds. The house appears to have been built by a ship's joiner, whose skilled hand is evident in the intricately carved porch supports and exterior moldings.

On the exterior, the Hussey-Littlefield House is an attractive, well proportioned, Greek Revival and Italianate style farm house with a series of ells connecting the house to the New England-plan barn. Set on a rural 6.8 acre lot surrounded by fields and other older farmhouses, this c. 1838 house displays a comfortable dignity that befits its location and style. At a passing glance, an observer might be forgiven to imagine that this structure has descended unchanged as a relic of a simpler, easier, pastoral past.

Over 200 acres of pasture, meadow and woodlot surround the buildings and create the country setting that has been the backdrop of this farm?s industry and agriculture since 1817.
