==Description and history==
The Chapman House is located in Portland's western Rosemont neighborhood, on the south side of Capisic Street, between Bancroft and Frost Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof providing a full third floor. At the northeast corner of the house is an inset three-story square tower, topped by a mansard roof that has an unusually small center and widely flaring eaves. The main cornice is studded with paired brackets in the Italianate style, and a porch wraps around the front and side of the corner with the tower. The porch roof is supported by carved round posts, and also features brackets. To the rear of the property stands a period carriage house with similar styling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Leonard Bond Chapman House )〕
The house was built between 1866 and 1868, and represents a locally unusual example of the Second Empire mansard-roofed style. It was built for Leonard Bond Chapman, a Portland native who was professionally a nursery owner. His avocation, however, was as an antiquarian and collector of manuscripts, particularly on the subject of Portland history. He was a longtime active member of the Maine Historical Society, for which he wrote numerous treatises on all aspects of the city's history.〔
