Norton House Historic District

The Norton House Historic District encompasses two properties that formerly constituted the central portion of a suburban country estate in Falmouth, Maine.

He retained John Howard Stevens, who developed a plan that included a house, carriage barn, and landscaped garden terraces.

The Norton estate was originally several hundred acres, most of which has since been subdivided (including the property of the Portland Yacht Club).

The drive is marked by a low stone wall with posts, and a small gatehouse on the right side, designed by John Howard Stevens.

The house is a handsome 2-1/2 story structure, with an eclectic blend of Prairie School, Shingle, and Colonial Revival styles.
