The Joseph Maynard House has been unoccupied for several years. But we’re told that about four years ago, the property was purchased by a gentleman (unknown to us) who attempted to renovate the antique home. He didn’t accomplish much before walking away, but did manage to make some small updates. From what we can tell, these updates include a few newer windows and some fresh paint. The “fresh” paint is perhaps this man’s most interesting contribution to the Joseph Maynard property. He painted the exterior an aquamarine-ish hue of blue and the bathroom was donned a two-tone pink – the darker shade can be likened to Pepto-Bismol and the lighter is reminiscent of bubblegum.
These paint choices are unique. Especially when you consider that this was among the only work done by this person and that the home is an 18th century property – not a good style fit for these glaring pastel colors … at least not from an historical perspective.
What could have led to this interesting color palette? Was Easter his favorite holiday? Was this some sort of homage to the 80’s? Was the local paint store having a clearance sale?
We’ll never know. But in the meantime, please take a moment to view the interesting range of colors … because they will soon be gone, forever.
