This house and the property it used to rest on was frequently sold and re-sold. The Mainville family owned the property for about fifty years. It was built, circa 1880 using a square log construction. The Mainville house was covered in board and baton in 1986. It has a sloped roof and other architectural features that are typical of French-Canadian construction. The Wilkes family lived in the house for a brief period of time before donating it to the Cumberland Museum in 1982. This house is home to many different types of radios, most of them purchased from the Sears catalogue. Walk inside. |
