Jacob Randall House // c.1796
The Jacob Randall House on Lawrence Road inPownal, Maine was built about 1796 and is a fine example of Federal period architecture executed in brick in the town. Built for Jacob Randall (1771-1829) a native ofWeymouth, Massachusetts, who purchased over 100 acres of land in town, and had this house built sometime after. His property spanned the nearbyChandler River, upon which he established a sawmill and gristmill. When Pownal was incorporated in 1808, Randall was one of its first town selectmen, a seat he held nearly continuously until his death in 1836. The house is five bays wide, with its entrance in the central bay, recessed with a fanlight.
