"The Spite House" Rumford, Maine. Built 1901
Our neighbor, Brenda Espinoza, was kind enought to take this photo of our home and share it with us.
It was explained to us by the people who sold us this house that a man in town had two sons. He left the older son the beautiful 9 fireplace home and left the younger son the adjacent lot and money to build his own home. The younger son was bitter about this and so he purposely built a house which was tall and skinny so that it would block his brother's view of the Rumford Falls. That is why the house was known locally as the "Spite House".
