Can you name this place ? This is a side window from the Olsen House in Cushing, Maine. This house is in the painting Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth. On Route 1 in Thomaston there is a small sign for the Olsen House, and one day last fall I took the right turn and rambled down 9 miles to a dirt road, turned left and, there at the end of the road was this gem. The day I was there it was closed (the house is owned/managed by the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland) so I was alone and Ryder and I walked around and photographed the house from all angles. Nice little piece of history.
