Description and history
The Dyer Estate is located north of Gorham center, on the west side of Fort Hill Road (Maine State Route 114), the main northbound route from the center. Set on over Шаблон:Convert of land are the main house, and a collection of farm outbuildings that includes a storage barn, animal barn, greenhouse, equipment shed, and other buildings. Landscaped features of the property include a pond, impounded by an earthen dam at its south end, a croquet lawn bordered by a cedar hedge, and a walled garden. The house is a 2-1/2 story Greek Revival structure, with a side gable roof, twin interior chimneys, and clapboard siding. It has a single-story porch extending across its front and south sides.[2]
The construction date of the house is not known with certainty, but local records show that the original house was built ~1783-5; later renovations and extensions were added, with the current Greek-revival facade and porch being added probably sometime in the 1850s, by one of two known owners during that period. The property, then more than Шаблон:Convert, was purchased in 1888 by Isaac W. Dyer, a prominent Portland lawyer who served in the Maine legislature and as the United States District Attorney for many years. This property was Dyer's summer estate, and about 1900 he began a major transformation, building most of the outbuildings and landscaped features visible today. These types of built-up summer "gentleman's farm" properties are increasingly rare in the state, and the Dyer estate is notable as one of the few known that includes a walled garden.[2]
