Captain David Stearns House, 3 Gardiner St Richmond, Sagadahoc County, ME
The Captain David Stearns House is an example of Richmond, Maine`s distinctive and varied wooden Greek Revival temple style homes. Many of these, including the Stearns House, were built for sea captains and shipbuilders during the town`s flourishing two decades before the Civil War. The Stearns House is of special architectural interest because of its carved lotus leaf capitals, which reflect the influence of the Egyptian Revival.
