  		Hiram Paul barn This barn was built by Hiram Paul. The initials are faded but can still be seen. The stable on the side collapsed fall, 2012, and the rest will probably soon follow. The farm is located on the southwest corner of the Bog Road and the Fort Fairfield Road just south of Limestone. It was originally built in 1888 and is located at 201 Main Street, Limestone, Aroostook, Maine. In 1890, Hiram and Francena sold the farm to Francena's half-sister and her husband, Alice and John Ward.
