Description:
Side view of Stone Barn on at intersection of Crooked Road and Norway Drive. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Owen are barn owners. Photographed in May 2006. The farm itself dates to 1850. The barn was built in 1907 by the Shea Brothers of Ellsworth, masonry contractors and builders who had purchased the property. The first story is constructed of glacial stone and granite. The gambrel-roofed barn has housed both sheep and goats. The Stone Barn is on the National Register of historic structures. Mr. and Mrs. Owen have been stewards of the 167 acre farm for over 40 years and have deeded the farm to a conservation trust. A road running between the carriage house to the right of the barn and the farm house led over the brook and up the hill to salt marsh land. The Owens have produced lettuce (6,000-8,000 heads a year), strawberries and beans, goat milk, and other goat mile products which were sold to local restaurants and markets. For years, giant sunflowers stood in a half circle plot on the front lawn. The sheep shed at the rear of the barn was built in the 1960s. The carriage house (not visible in the photograph) was probably somewhat older than the barn, and had front and rear doors so that the carriage could be driven in one end and out the other.
