The above property at 7 Middle Street, Wiscasset now for sale. Interestingly, the listing includes no mention of the little tool shed on the property. Rather plain looking, it is however a shed built closely along the lines of the present Sheepscot section house. Back in the mid-1990's when the property was being sold, the owner offered the original shed to the W.W. & F. Ry. Museum. All the museum had to do would be to provide a replacement, which we did. Not long after the swap was made, Harry told us that the old shed had once been used as the station at Sheepscot and that his father had owned it for a time. I recall finding a Boston Post newspaper under the floor boards. The paper was dated 1916. One story was that the building originally stood at the point just above the upper Wiscasset yard, at a place called "Bailey's Point" and that it was used to store oils and grease.
