This is Maine

This 1880s picture is of the "Stone Farm" site in Andover, Maine, one mile or so up the road to the right of the Ethan Allen mill. The Poor family is shown with Lister Poor sitting in the chair. The house seems to have been built on the site of a barn, given the heavy granite slabs sloping up under the porch. One of Poor's ancestors helped bring the railroads to Maine and another became the "Poor" in Standard and Poor's. His descendants were guides in the Rangeley Lakes during the heyday of the out-of-state "Sports" trekking to Maine for some of the world's best fishing. The appellation "Stone Farm" was given to a successor house on this same site, made of granite, still standing today.
