McCulloch House, Kennebunk, Maine

I was recently commissioned by Maine Preservation to photograph the McCulloch House in Kennebunk. Shipbuilder and merchant Hugh McCulloch originally had the house built ca.1782 … it has remained in the family since. Hugh McCulloch’s son (Hugh) was born there in 1808 and went on to serve as Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Lincoln, Johnson and Arthur. The property is now on the market to be sold.

Interesting features throughout, I could not help but marvel over the rare wallpaper in a closet as it was from 1785. The scene depicts America’s new found independence as evidenced by the trampling of a scroll of “British Laws” and celebrates July 4th 1776. Other features in the home include hinged walls on the second floor which could be raised to make a ballroom, and pocket shutters on the first floor. The front hallway is graced with a Simon Willard tall clock … Living history abounds on Summer Street in Kennebunk.

Rockport Home With a View

Commanding a beautiful view from a hilltop in Rockport, this home will be on the market soon. Expansive with a thoughtfully designed flow, this Rockport Homes built house offers something for everybody. Great views from the deck, or bedroom, kitchen, living room…And it has a guest house as well!
