Marion (Old Rochester) is one of the oldest towns in the United States, and the Sippican Historical Society maintains an extensive collection of documentation on its historic buildings. In 1998, the Sippican Historical Society commissioned an architectural survey of Marion’s historic homes and buildings. Over 100 were cataloged and photographed. SHS will feature one building a week so that the residents of Marion can understand more about its unique historical architecture.
This week we feature 604A Point Road. The clapboard-clad Colonial Revival residence at 604A Point Road was built in 1930. The home was designed by the architect Charles Allerton Coolidge for his own family. He was a partner in the Boston architectural firm of Shipley, Bulfinch, Rutan and Coolidge, successors to the practice of Henry Hobson Richardson. This lovely home overlooks rolling lawns, while there is a wooded area behind it.
