This building is now the home of Theo McCormick, who moved to Swan's Island with her late husband Stephen McCormick, the longtime radio and television broadcaster who, among other things, broadcast President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 'Fireside Chats.'
The house was built around 1845 by Asa Joyce, and although the back section of the house is new the front retains the original structure, as seen in its low ceilings. It is known by some as the oldest surviving home on Swan's Island, although there is debate.
