William Briggs Homestead

The William Briggs Homestead is an historic farmhouse at 1470 Turner Street in Auburn, Maine.

The house is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney and clapboard siding.

Its main facade is symmetrical, with a center entrance that has a Federal period surround of sidelight windows, pilasters, and entablature above.

The interior of the house retains high-quality original woodwork and hardware, including trim, molding, paneling, and wainscoting.

In 1779 it was purchased from Berry by William Briggs, originally of Dighton, Massachusetts, who built this house in about 1797.
