Marysville Long House

Like many older buildings, this house has been added to in several stages.  There is an addition to the north, with a wrap-around veranda for shade and a long drive-shed wing behind the main house.  And speaking on main houses, the long extension reminded me of the pattern of long sausage link houses in the State of Maine.  I have never taken the time to research why that pattern is so ubiquitous in Maine, but surmise that its some intersection of building ordinances and the practical desire to stay under shelter when moving from house to drive sheds.
