The first time I entered the front stair hall I was weak in the knees. My companions practically had to support me! I had never seen such a beautiful interior. You can't imagine my dismay when I saw the photos years later and how little respect had been shown this house. This is such good news and so glad to hear the progress toward bringing back this never to be forgotten house.prudence fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940285046413262096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696582391587199435.post-65786656505794985652019-12-25T06:05:15.885-08:002019-12-25T06:05:15.885-08:00So excited to read this!!

Glad it has been restored back to what it was when I saw it over 25 years ago. peggy flavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15198968209857265307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696582391587199435.post-62016598397387576862019-12-16T14:56:02.983-08:002019-12-16T14:56:02.983-08:00The Blazo House is currently in very good hands. ...The Blazo House is currently in very good hands. Within the last five years the current owner has thoroughly refinished the interior, re-set the exterior steps, mowed the pasture, repaired and painted the pasture fencing, rebuilt the Rumford Stove, etc.. He was unable to restore the interior to its original, but all work and finish is consistent with the house's history, including murals in the hallway and stairs and bringing back the graining on doors and fireplace mantels, etc. The current owner and restorer has a lifetime of interest in antiques and history. He plans to open the house to the public on a spring and a fall weekend. His adult life has been spent in West Baldwin, ME. Best way to contact is through the historical society (Parsonsfield or West Baldwin, I'm not sure which), He supports their efforts and they his. Several friends, neighbors, relatives, and former dental patients enjoyed an open house in July, 2017. Further restoration and maintenance has continued since.JimKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568802506933012030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696582391587199435.post-79701054839128078122019-09-07T19:11:23.184-07:002019-09-07T19:11:23.184-07:00The house has a new owner after foreclosure.

Homes like these are disappearing due to various reasons, and we should advocate for their care and restoration. I feel that old homes like these are a cultural heritage, and like all other heritages, it must be protected. Thank you for posting these pictures!<br /><br /><a href="http://scottsauer.ca/" rel="nofollow">Scott @ Scottcauer.ca</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15860186160538557881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696582391587199435.post-37044039433770391232014-02-12T02:48:06.726-08:002014-02-12T02:48:06.726-08:00Thank you for your comment and I agree.

Places like Newburyport, MA, restored with such care in the 1970s and 1980s, is suffering from a new generation of buyers, attracted by the beauty, then renovating their wonderful old houses with a heavy hand to suit their 21st century tastes with too much money and little respect for original fabric. It is happening everywhere. prudence fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940285046413262096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696582391587199435.post-33367337972540320982014-02-11T20:22:49.953-08:002014-02-11T20:22:49.953-08:00I've just come across your blog and have spent...I've just come across your blog and have spent a happy hour here as a result of another search that led me to this post.<br /><br />I fear daily for these houses----the sensibility about place, location, and preservation have changed so dramatically over the last decade---and this post point up the problems facing some of our best early architecture. And the new taste for gut renovation makes me fear nothing will be left.<br /><br />wonderful post.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696582391587199435.post-41894233356006745492014-02-03T07:24:53.233-08:002014-02-03T07:24:53.233-08:00What wonderful pictures of a beautiful home.

Your post is so important showing how quickly a home can be devalued by an owner who does not understand the importance of keeping historical features in place. I so hope the new owners have an understanding of what this home represents and are kind to it's historical integrity .
