Description
J. W. Holmquist farm on lot #75 1/2, West Road.
The log cabin on this location was built in 1871. The log barn was built in 1873 and is the largest pre-1900 log structure left extant (as of 2006) in New England (35' X 40"). The main house was built in 1889 by Anders G. Olson.
In 1922 Olof O. Nylander assembled a display of photographs, maps and charts of the Maine Swedish Colony which he displayed at the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of Gothenburg, Sweden. The series of display cards, or samlats, each featured several photographs of homes, businesses and community members from New Sweden, Woodland, Perham and Caribou.
This photograph is from samlat 12.
