The Birches (Belgrade Lakes, Maine)

Built in 1916 to a design by John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens, it is the best-preserved surviving structure related to The Belgrade Hotel, a large summer resort hotel which burned down in 1955.

Its main facade faces northwest, with an enclosed single-story hip-roofed porch extending across its width.

The interior has a large two-story living room, finished entirely in original varnished tongue-and-groove woodwork.

A balcony runs around all four sides, with a stair rising along the wall dividing the room from bedrooms and bathrooms.

It was sold as a separate property after the fire, and was used as a summer cottage until 1994, when it was weatherized for year-round occupancy.
