Description

Built in 1851, the Whitney House is a perfect example of Greek Revival architecture with it's double balustrades at both the main and upper floors. Restored in 1983 to become the home of the Brookings and Smith Funeral Home with classic design, this home maintains it's original elegance. The decor is soft and neutral, featuring a black marble mantle and working wooden shutters. The space would be great for many different uses, certainly office space but making the adjustments to bring it back to...Built in 1851, the Whitney House is a perfect example of Greek Revival architecture with it's double balustrades at both the main and upper floors. Restored in 1983 to become the home of the Brookings and Smith Funeral Home with classic design, this home maintains it's original elegance. The decor is soft and neutral, featuring a black marble mantle and working wooden shutters. The space would be great for many different uses, certainly office space but making the adjustments to bring it back to a single family residence would also be attractive. There is an attached garage and a heated space attached for an art studio. The kitchen was removed to make room for the large chapel but the space is waiting for your imagination and the windows will still allow for an easy installation. The location is prime, you can live in the heart of Orono and there is space to run your business as well. Come on over to take a look, it is a once in a lifetime chance to own a beautiful building like this!
