context_page_description: The historical buildings and structures of Yarmouth, Maine, represent a variety of building styles and usages, largely based on its past as home to almost sixty mills over a period of roughly 250 years. These mills include that of grain, lumber, pulp and cotton. Additionally, almost three hundred vessels were launched by Yarmouth's shipyards in the century between 1790 and 1890, and the homes of master shipwrights and ship captains can still be found throughout the town.
  Yarmouth's 2010 Comprehensive Plan identified "historic character" as one of five key topics facing the town. The Plan proposed policies and strategies to ensure that "buildings of historic significance will be maintained while allowing the buildings to be improved, modernized and expanded."
  In 2017, the town hired Historic Building Consultant Margaret Gaertner to conduct an historic architectural survey of the Village area of Yarmouth. This was completed in September 2018.
  The Maine Historic Preservation Commission has found many of Yarmouth's historic buildings eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, in addition to the twelve that are already included.
