Queer Building in Maine.

They do things oddly in the Pine Tree state sometimes. In the outskirts of the shipbuilding city of Bath I'saw recently the front wall under the roof of a comparatively new house torn out and the bow of a 24-foot boat protruding. A long distance from the water the owner had passed the winter building the boat in his attic; knocked out the front of his house to remove it to the yard, and then transported it by skids to the Kennebec river, says the Boston Post And on the same trip in the elongated township of Phipsburg my driver pointed out an isolated house, a modern structure built by its owner personally and entirely inclosing his smaller and more ancient house. The Inner one he and his family occupied during the constructing of the new one and then demolished it and ejected "the remains” through the new windows.
