Grand Old Mansion at Phippsburg Center Long Home of Minott Family
The 1774 McCobb house in Phippsburg overlooks the Kennebec and shows colonial New England design. Built by James McCobb, later owned by the Minotts after 1853, it features large chimneys, wide lumber, and hand forged hardware. The Minott era produced famed shipbuilder Charles V. Minott and a fleet that included brig Nebraska and many schooners, with the notable Marcus L. Urann launch in 1904. The estate once spanned hundreds of acres, and visitors recall the shipyard on the riverbank and a now ruined wharf connecting Bath to Popham.
