Approximately 2522 (center) and 2530 (left) N Belfast Ave/ME-3, Augusta, ME. Both of these homes stand today, though the farm outbuildings have been lost. The large barn near 2522 (actually part of the neighboring property) was lost prior to 2007, with a new medical office building built on the lot (to the right of where the barn was in this photo). The smaller garage behind the home was demolished before 2007 as well, and around this time the home received updates and foundation work. During this renovation the windows were removed, and replaced with a single window in the middle of the left side of the doorway. the windows on the first floor on the right side of the home were also removed and replaced with large picture windows.

At 2530, the home is now clad in modern siding, but looks much the same shape/size. Much of the rear ell and the entire barn / set of outbuildings stood until sometime between 2016 and 2019, when the house was updated and they were torn down. The farm plot at the top left has since been allowed to become forested again.
