The Captain Reuben Prince House is an historic home at 210 Gilman Road in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Built around 1817,[1][2] some thirty years before the town's incorporation, it was originally the home of Reuben Prince (1792–1870), a sea captain,[3] who lived there with his wife, Deborah Drinkwater (1794–1878). Their son, Samuel,[4] lived nearby at 161 Gilman Road. The home, which sits on 9.2 acres,[2] contains some architectural work undertaken by John Calvin Stevens.
Upon Reuben's death in 1870, the home passed to his youngest son, Harlan Prince, who was also a sea captain and, upon retiring from the seas in 1892, became a member of the Maine House of Representatives.[5] It remained in the Prince family until Harlan's death.[1]
Arthur and Josie Fels bought the property, and its considerable land, in 1907. Conservation land on the opposite side of Gilman Road is now known as the Fels-Groves Preserve.[6]
The home was restored and renovated between 2002 and 2004. It contains six bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half bathroom. A carriage house stands adjacent to the east.[2]
