Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, homes continued to be built at a modest pace, some mingling with older style houses, while others were built in subdivisions, which were popular in the 1960s and 70s. The various architectural styles blend nicely throughout the town, reflecting the various customs, styles and tastes of their occupants over the years.

An observation made in an old newspaper column sums up the town’s architectural qualities: “ (Driving through Thomaston is an) aesthetic feast for the lover of fine old houses. Along its streets are some of ship-lapped, pilastered design, some of true Maine low-down dimensions, and some with doorways that have been admired and copied by architects.”
