Romanzo Kingman House
The Romanzo Kingman House is a historic house on Main Street (Maine State Route 170) in Kingman, Maine. Built in 1871, it is the unincorporated community's most sophisticated example of 19th-century architecture. It was built for Romanzo Kingman, the area's namesake and owner of a locally important tannery. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.〔
==Description and history==
The Kingman House is located on Main Street in the rural town center of Kingman, an unincorporated community in southeastern Penobscot County. It is two stories in height, with a hip roof, central chimney, and clapboard siding. Its main facade, facing southwest, is three bays wide, with the entrance in the left bay, sheltered by a portico support by square posts and pilasters. It has a denticulated cornice and a low balustrade on the sides. First floor windows are crowned by gabled pediments with consoles, while the second floor windows have flat pediments with consoles. A two-story ell extends northeast from the main block, joining the house to a carriage barn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Romanzo Kingman House )〕
Romanzo Kingman and Francis Shaw established a tannery in Kingman in the 1860s, which was billed for a time as one of the largest in the nation. The tannery was a major local industry until it was destroyed in a massive explosion in the 1920s. Kingman and Shaw, both bachelors at the time, built this house, the only house of architectural distinction in the small community, in 1871-72. Kingman left the area a few years later to open a second tannery in Wisconsin; when the community incorporated as a plantation, it was named in his honor.〔
