The oldest portion of this wood-frame house dates to about 1816, and was built by Ichabod Young, who erected the first fulling mill in Piscataquis County.

The house is most remarkable for its high-quality interior woodwork, and for the artwork on the walls of several of its rooms, which includes paintings by Rufus Porter and stencilwork by Moses Eaton, Jr., two noted itinerant artists of the early-to-mid 19th century.

The first ell, also 1+1⁄2 stories, is three bays long, also with a central chimney and a centered entrance, and is narrower than the main block is wide.

The highlight of the interior is the well-preserved artwork found throughout the main block, which includes paintings by the itinerant artist Rufus Porter, and stencilwork by Moses Eaton, Jr.

[2] Ichabod Young came to the area in 1816, and built a fulling mill on the north side of the Sebec River that same year.
