[1] The John Davis House stands on the west side of River Road (Maine State Route 9) in the rural community of Chelsea, opposite its junction with Pushard Lane.

The remaining bays are filled with sash windows, set in rectangular openings, with granite sills and lintels.

The interior features high quality Federal period woodwork and massive granite fireplace sills.

It was not standing when the earliest map was made of the area in 1815, and is referred to as the "John Davis Farm" in a deed from the 1860s.

Davis was a well-known housewright in the region, and may have built the house not long after the land was surveyed.
