The Jonas R. Shurtleff House is a historic house on United States Route 201 in Winslow, Maine. Built about 1850, it is a distinctive local example of vernacular Gothic Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.^[1]

Description and history

The Jonas R. Shurtleff House is located in southern Winslow, on the west side US 201, a short way south of its junction with Maine State Route 137. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, vertical board siding, and a granite foundation. The main roof gable and side gables are adorned with bargeboard trim. The ground floor windows are topped by extended cornices supported by narrow paired brackets, while second-floor windows are topped by square-headed moulding. The main entrance is sheltered by a porch with latticework trim forming Gothic arches. Above the entrance is a three-part Palladian style window, and there is a triangular multilight window in the gable point above. The house's interior is decorated with modest Greek Revival trim.^[2]

The house was built sometime between 1850 and 1853 by Jonas Shurtleff, who had purchased the land in 1849. Its designer is not known; its more fanciful features, although borrowing in some ways from published materials on residential Gothic architecture, are largely vernacular. The house has been a local landmark and minor tourist attraction since its construction.^[2]
