Built in 1946 by Maine author John Gould known for his quintessential storytelling in 30 published books and columnist for The Christian Science Monitor and local newspapers. In the book 'The House Jacob Built' (Gould's great grandfather) Jacob Gould built the original house on this lot in 1780 which later burned in a fire.
