Merrill-Poor House, Colonial estate in Andover, United States.
The Merrill-Poor House is a two-and-a-half-story colonial residence built with wood framing and a granite foundation, featuring a centered entrance with five bays. A later addition includes a great hall with Gothic woodwork and an open lodge space.
A Revolutionary War veteran built the house between 1788 and 1792 in recognition of his military service. The building was expanded in later years, reflecting the family's growth and changing needs.
This house was home to individuals whose careers shaped American finance and transportation industries in significant ways. The rooms today reflect how an established family lived and worked during the 19th century.
The house sits northeast of downtown Andover along Maine State Route 120 and preserves its original architectural character. Visitors should expect uneven floors and narrow stairs typical of homes from this period.
The 1896 addition created a dramatic great hall with soaring vertical space that transformed how the family used the building. This expansion shows how architectural tastes and living spaces evolved by the late 1800s.
