Jeremiah Colburn House

The Jeremiah Colburn House is a historic site located at 68 Main Street in Orono, Maine, United States, which is named for one of Orono's two original settlers, Jeremiah Colburn.[1][2] The structure was built in 1840 and served as the home and office of Dr. Asa Adams, a renowned family physician in the Town of Orono for over 43 years and after whom the local Asa C. Adams Elementary School is named.[3] Built in the Greek Revival style,[4] it is a contributing property to the Orono Main Street Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and lies near the Jeremiah Colburn Natural Area.[5]
