Captain Daniel Holden House, 24 Elm Street, Topsham, Sagadahoc County, ME
Summary
Significance: This structure is an outstanding example of an early 19th century Maine house. It was probably partially built and decorated by Samuel Melcher III, carpenter-builder of Brunswick. Melcher was typical of the coastal builders of Maine who were both shipbuilders and housewrights. Of particular interest is the restraint of interior details, large second-floor ballroom, and the stairways.
