17 Water Street, Gorham Built ca: 1828 by General James Irish. The clapboards are laid with one of the smallest exposures, 2-2.5 inches, I've ever seen. They are skive jointed and in wonderful condition. Sure makes a weather tight, if a bit busy, exterior. But oh those flared eaves! 😍😎👍❤ #architecture #19thcentury #federalstyle #gorhammaine
