Built in 1754 and widely recognized as one of Damariscotta's oldest surviving homes, the residence stands among a small handful of 18th-century properties that helped shape the community's earliest history.

The impressive three-story post-and-beam barn includes an auxiliary dwelling unit and providing extraordinary flexibility as a guest residence, rental, studio, workshop, business space, event venue, or potential standalone home, with its designated utilities. Built for Benjamin Day by Nathaniel Chapman and thoughtfully stewarded for more than 270 years.
