McIntire Garrison House
McIntire Garrison House, Colonial garrison house in York, Maine.
The McIntire Garrison House features thick wooden walls measuring 7.5 inches, constructed with sawn logs dovetailed together at the corners and covered with clapboard sheathing.
Built in 1712 during a period of regional conflict, this house served as a defensive structure against Native American raids while providing residential space for settlers.
The building represents early American architectural techniques through its second-story overhang, central chimney, and traditional wooden floors with paneled interior walls.
Located on Cider Hill Road overlooking the York River, the National Historic Landmark remains accessible for visitors interested in colonial architecture and defense systems.
The structure includes a strategic trapdoor in the overhanging second floor, allowing occupants to monitor potential threats approaching from any direction.
