The Fryeburg Historical Society Museum is the former Registry of Deeds and is historically an important building by virtue of its function as the only nineteenth century governmental office in western Oxford County. Its architectural significance stems from the unusual representation of a clearly stated Greek Revival style composition on a building of this size and of this material. On September 20, 1822, a deed was executed between Daniel Clement and the Inhabitants of Oxford County for a parcel of land in Fryeburg whose dimensions were approximately 48 feet by 28 feet. This appears to be the lot on which the building exists.
