Jewett-Eastman House

The Jewett-Eastman House is a historic property located at 37 Portland Street in South Berwick, Maine, known for its Greek Revival architecture and association with the prominent Jewett family. Constructed around 1850 by Theodore Furbur Jewett for his son Theodore Herman Jewett, the house was later passed down through generations of the Jewett and Eastman families. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure with a front-facing gable roof and clapboard siding, featuring classical elements such as Doric pilasters and an entablature on the main facade.

The house holds significance due to its ties to Sarah Orne Jewett, a renowned writer who was raised there. After being used as the South Berwick Public Library in the 1970s, it was sold and later repurchased by Historic New England (HNE) in 2011. Today, the house serves as a gallery space, event venue, and visitor center for the adjacent Sarah Orne Jewett House, which is also operated by HNE. The property reflects the area's historical and cultural heritage.
