The House that Jacob built / John Gould - New York William Morrow & Company 1947 - 256 p.

In 1940, the 1780-farmhouse that noted Maine essayist and curmudgeon John Gould's great-grandfather built burned to the ground. To honor the generations that came before him, Gould there and then decided to rebuild the house in Lisbon Falls. Memories clung to every beam and rafter and these recollections form the substance of Gould's memoir.
