Dot's Place a Maine Cape Farmhouse



My latest project is another house that I call Dot's Place...for my Sister-in-law who owns the place where this house stood. It is based on old photos of the house by the Kennebec River, here in Phippsburg. It was probably colonial vintage and was a farm house. The barn stood near where Dot's house now stands. One photo shows the family posing in front probably in the 1880's another shows it abandoned, probably in the 1920's. I had to make up the "L" an pourch as they did not show on the photos.



I molded the windows using a silicone mold and Urethane resin. they came out OK but I do have trouble getting all the mullions to fill properly. many windows have patches but they do not show too much.


I havn't seen the ground since Christmas, so I am not exactly sure where to put my new buildings. I am excited to find them spots and give them some plantings.
