Holmes-Crafts Homestead
Holmes-Crafts Homestead, Federal period house in North Jay, Maine, United States
The Holmes-Crafts Homestead features a two-story wood frame structure with a hip roof, two chimneys, and original clapboards spanning five acres of land.
James Starr, the first postmaster of Jay, purchased this property in 1820, followed by his son-in-law Aruna Holmes, a cabinetmaker who acquired it in 1833.
The interior of the house maintains its Federal period characteristics with wide pine floors and original door hardware representing early 19th-century New England construction.
Located at the southern junction of Old Jay Hill Road and Main Street, this historic site offers guided tours highlighting architectural details from the Federal period.
The house retains much of its original exterior elements, including period-specific window designs and a Federal style entrance with detailed sidelight windows.
