When the historical

meeting on Saturday the
NFFUJOHPO4BUVSEBZUIF
children's gate is going
DIJMESFOTHBUFJTHPJOH
to be reinstalled at the

The Longfellow Garden

probably does not have
QSPCBCMZEPFTOPUIBWF
any plants left over from
BOZQMBOUTMFGUPWFSGSPN
the time that Henry lived
UIFUJNFUIBU)FOSZMJWFE
in the house, said Imelda
JOUIFIPVTFTBJE*NFMEB
Schaefer, a member of

the historical society who
UIFIJTUPSJDBMTPDJFUZXIP
helped coordinate the resIFMQFEDPPSEJOBUFUIFSFT
toration of the garden after
UPSBUJPOPGUIFHBSEFOBGUFS
the library project.
UIFMJCSBSZQSPKFDU
But there is at least one
#VUUIFSFJTBUMFBTUPOF
lilac that dates to when
MJMBDUIBUEBUFTUPXIFO
Henry's sister, Anne Long)FOSZTTJTUFS"OOF-POH
fellow Pierce, lived in the
GFMMPX1JFSDFMJWFEJOUIF
home. She bequeathed the
IPNF4IFCFRVFBUIFEUIF
home to the Maine HistoriIPNFUPUIF.BJOF)JTUPSJ

"Jeff O'Donal pulled that
i+FGG0%POBMQVMMFEUIBU
lilac, took it to his nursery
MJMBDUPPLJUUPIJTOVSTFSZ
and kept it for us for about
BOELFQUJUGPSVTGPSBCPVU
four years," Schaefer said.
GPVSZFBSTw4DIBFGFSTBJE
But while the plants are
#VUXIJMFUIFQMBOUTBSF
different, and some of the
EJGGFSFOUBOETPNFPGUIF
garden was lost to the
HBSEFOXBTMPTUUPUIF
expansion of the library, it
FYQBOTJPOPGUIFMJCSBSZJU
has the same feel.

"It still has the same long

view over the garden from

"We looked at a lot of houses,

but this was the only one where

every little thing was just right,"
FWFSZMJUUMFUIJOHXBTKVTUSJHIUw
said Simonds.

Yarmouth architect Kevin

Browne designed the home
#SPXOFEFTJHOFEUIFIPNF
with many of the more promiXJUINBOZPGUIFNPSFQSPNJ
nent features suggested by the
OFOUGFBUVSFTTVHHFTUFECZUIF
home's first owners.
IPNFTmSTUPXOFST
Those features include the
5IPTFGFBUVSFTJODMVEFUIF
flying staircase as well as two
nZJOHTUBJSDBTFBTXFMMBTUXP
arched doorways on either end
BSDIFEEPPSXBZTPOFJUIFSFOE
of a hallway connecting the
PGBIBMMXBZDPOOFDUJOHUIF
main upstairs bedroom area
NBJOVQTUBJSTCFESPPNBSFB
with a two-room suite over the
XJUIBUXPSPPNTVJUFPWFSUIF
garage. The arches give the
HBSBHF5IFBSDIFTHJWFUIF
hallway the appearance of a
IBMMXBZUIFBQQFBSBODFPGB
tunnel, and frame the views of
UVOOFMBOEGSBNFUIFWJFXTPG
each end of the second-story
FBDIFOEPGUIFTFDPOETUPSZ
interior.
JOUFSJPS
Also eye-catching are the dark
"MTPFZFDBUDIJOHBSFUIFEBSL
wood floors, which were treated
XPPEnPPSTXIJDIXFSFUSFBUFE
with a process that makes them
XJUIBQSPDFTTUIBUNBLFTUIFN

than most. Then there are
UIBONPTU5IFOUIFSFBSF
smaller details that stand out,
TNBMMFSEFUBJMTUIBUTUBOEPVU
like a chandelier in a downMJLFBDIBOEFMJFSJOBEPXO

TUBJSTCBUISPPNi*NUIFPOMZ
girl in the house, so that's for
HJSMJOUIFIPVTFTPUIBUTGPS
me," says Simonds.
NFwTBZT4JNPOET
There's also a butler's pantry
5IFSFTBMTPBCVUMFSTQBOUSZ
with an extra dishwasher.
XJUIBOFYUSBEJTIXBTIFS
One of the main things the
0OFPGUIFNBJOUIJOHTUIF
Simonds were looking for when
4JNPOETXFSFMPPLJOHGPSXIFO
they found this house was space
UIFZGPVOEUIJTIPVTFXBTTQBDF
for a growing family - four sons
GPSBHSPXJOHGBNJMZoGPVSTPOT
ages 6 to 15. So they wanted lots
BHFTUP4PUIFZXBOUFEMPUT
of rooms - big rooms, with open
PGSPPNToCJHSPPNTXJUIPQFO
spaces.
TQBDFT
The house has that, with five
5IFIPVTFIBTUIBUXJUImWF
bedrooms and six bathrooms.
CFESPPNTBOETJYCBUISPPNT
It has a two-story entryway
*UIBTBUXPTUPSZFOUSZXBZ
and ceilings about 10 feet high.

Doors and windows are extra

wide.
XJEF
The living room and kitchen
5IFMJWJOHSPPNBOELJUDIFO
are both large, and open to each

other. The living room has three
PUIFS5IFMJWJOHSPPNIBTUISFF
sets of double glass doors leadTFUTPGEPVCMFHMBTTEPPSTMFBE
ing to the backyard to make it
JOHUPUIFCBDLZBSEUPNBLFJU
feel even more open.
GFFMFWFONPSFPQFO
The kitchen has an island

bigger than most formal dinCJHHFSUIBONPTUGPSNBMEJO
ing tables and a large eat-in
JOHUBCMFTBOEBMBSHFFBUJO
area with a large dining table.
BSFBXJUIBMBSHFEJOJOHUBCMF
There's also a formal dining
5IFSFTBMTPBGPSNBMEJOJOH
room, a downstairs den and an
SPPNBEPXOTUBJSTEFOBOEBO
upstairs family room.
VQTUBJSTGBNJMZSPPN
Although the house looks
"MUIPVHIUIFIPVTFMPPLT
formal - especially the entry
GPSNBMoFTQFDJBMMZUIFFOUSZ
- Simonds says her sons and
o4JNPOETTBZTIFSTPOTBOE
their many friends run around
UIFJSNBOZGSJFOETSVOBSPVOE
in it with ease. And because it's
JOJUXJUIFBTF"OECFDBVTFJUT
so big with so many rooms, it
TPCJHXJUITPNBOZSPPNTJU
doesn't easily feel crowded.
EPFTOUFBTJMZGFFMDSPXEFE
"It's a great house for hide

and seek," says Simonds, pointBOETFFLwTBZT4JNPOETQPJOU

Another definite "wow" fac"OPUIFSEFmOJUFiXPXwGBD
tor is a basketball court in a

barn building at the end of the

From the outside, the bas'SPNUIFPVUTJEFUIFCBT

LFUCBMMDPVSUTCVJMEJOHMPPLT
like a barn or carriage house
MJLFBCBSOPSDBSSJBHFIPVTF
with a style and roof slope that
XJUIBTUZMFBOESPPGTMPQFUIBU
matches the house.
NBUDIFTUIFIPVTF
One of the challenges of
0OFPGUIFDIBMMFOHFTPG
designing it was making the
EFTJHOJOHJUXBTNBLJOHUIF
interior tall enough for loopJOUFSJPSUBMMFOPVHIGPSMPPQ
ing three-point shots without
JOHUISFFQPJOUTIPUTXJUIPVU
making the exterior roof higher
NBLJOHUIFFYUFSJPSSPPGIJHIFS
than the roof of the house, said
UIBOUIFSPPGPGUIFIPVTFTBJE
Browne. So the floor of the gym
#SPXOF4PUIFnPPSPGUIFHZN
was sunk three feet into the
