Description and history

The Goodwin House is located in Sanford's Springvale village, on the west side of Main Street (Maine State Route 109) next to the Sanford-Springvale Historic Museum, located in the former Sanford Town Hall. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, finished with a combination of clapboard siding and decorative cut shingles. It is two bays wide, with a two-story projecting rectangular bay on the left and an entrance porch on the right, supported by turned posts. A second porch extends along the left side, with similar decorative elements, up to a side projecting section. A series of ells connect the main house to a period carriage barn. The interior retains many original finishes, hardware, cabinets, and woodwork. Surviving features include original wallpaper, light fixtures, and coal chute and bins in the basement.^[2]

The house was built in 1899 for Edmund Goodwin, a prominent local merchant and manufacturer then late in his life. Goodwin was also a civic benefactor, funding construction of the adjacent town hall. The house remained in his family until it was sold to the historical society in 2014.^[2]
