Pownalborough Courthouse, Colonial courthouse in Dresden, Maine.
The wooden courthouse features a three-story main block with a hip roof, five-bay facade, and central entrance adorned with pilasters and cornice.
Constructed between 1761 and 1769, the structure served as Lincoln County's first courthouse and remained in the Goodwin family until 1954.
