In 1796, John Pelton, Jr. erected a one and a half-story gambrel-roofed house at what is now 64 Indian Hill Avenue in Portland. At a later date the house was raised to a full two stories, with the second story having a hewn overhang above the first story.

    I lived in this house from 1975 to 1989, it is a great old post and beam home. My dad spent many hours keeping the place as original as possible, it has a great center chimney with three fireplaces, one with a bread oven. Mom sold the house about 25 years ago, I certainly miss its charm and drafty windows!
