Watson Settlement Bridge

Watson Settlement Bridge was a historic covered bridge in eastern Littleton, Maine, United States. Built in 1911, it was one of the youngest of Maine's few surviving covered bridges. It formerly carried Framingham Road over the Meduxnekeag River, but was closed to traffic, the road passing over a modern bridge to its south. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. It was destroyed by fire on July 19, 2021, and subsequently delisted from the National Register in 2023. Description and history The Watson Settlement Bridge was located in southeastern Littleton, a rural community in southern Aroostook County. The Meduxnekeag River flows north from Houlton into southeastern Littleton before turning east and crossing the international border into New Brunswick, Canada. Framingham Road, which the bridge formerly carried, crosses just south of the bridge on a modern structure. The covered bridge was about 150 feet (46 m) long, with two spans resting on stone abutments and a central pier. The bases of these structures are rubblestone that has been reinforced with concrete, with a 5-foot (1.5 m) top section that was contained within a timber cribwork. The structure was about 20 feet (6.1 m) wide and a similar height, with an internal clearance height of 13 feet 2 inches (4.01 m) and width of 18 feet (5.5 m). The support system for the two spans was Howe trusses. The exterior of the bridge was finished in vertical siding, and the roof was shingled. The bridge appears to be the first built at this location, no bridges having been marked on earlier maps of the area. It was built in 1911, and was attended by legal action between the county and the town over the cost of building its approaches, which was ultimately borne by the town. The bridge was closed to vehicular traffic with the construction of the adjacent bridge in 1984. The Watson Settlement Bridge was designated as a Maine Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2002. On July 19, 2021, the bridge was destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire was determined to be arson.

Wedding Cake House (Kennebunk, Maine)

Once called the "most photographed house in the state" of Maine, the Wedding Cake House, known formally as the George W. Bourne House, is a historic house located at 104 Summer Street in Kennebunk, Maine. The home was built in 1825 by shipbuilder George W. Bourne (1801–1856), who later built a frame barn which he connected to the main house with a carriage house. In 1852, the barn caught fire and the carriage house was demolished to keep the fire from spreading to the house. Bourne, who during a European tour had been impressed by the Gothic beauty of the cathedral at Milan, rebuilt the carriage house and barn in what later came to be known as Carpenter Gothic style. Using hand tools, he crafted five buttresses with pinnacles on top of each. Then in order to tie the new structures in with the existing house, he added six buttresses with pinnacles to the house and then joined them together with intricate woodwork. His only help in doing this was Thomas Durrell, an apprentice ship's carpenter. Bourne spent the rest of his life adding to these embellishments. It has been said of Bourne: "The highly skilled carpenter knew no limits to his skill." Name The "Wedding Cake" name was applied to the house due to its wedding cake-like appearance. Legend developed that the busy Bourne, a sea captain, had done the carpentry work to atone for not having taken his bride, Jane, on a proper honeymoon. This was not the case. Restoration In 1983, the home was purchased from the last descendant of George Bourne to live there by Mary Burnett and her daughter Anne. The women completely restored the mansion, completing the work in 1984. In fall 2005, the home was opened to the public for the first time by the previous owners Jimmy Barker and Kenneth W. Douglas as a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina relief. The home has been in the process of restoration since 2019 now owned by Barker's nephew Hunt Edwards and niece Lela Cason.

Wedding Cake House

Wedding Cake House, conocida formalmente como George W. Bourne House, es una casa histórica ubicada en 104 Summer Street en Kennebunk, Maine. Fue construida en 1825 por el constructor naval George W. Bourne, quien más tarde construyó un granero que conectó a la casa con una cochera. En 1852, el granero se incendió y la cochera fue derribada para evitar que el fuego se extendiera a la casa. Bourne, que durante una gira europea quedó impresionado por la belleza gótica de la catedral de Milán, reconstruyó la cochera y el granero en lo que más tarde se conocería como estilo gótico carpintero. Usando herramientas manuales, elaboró cinco contrafuertes con pináculos encima de cada uno. Luego, para unir las nuevas estructuras con la casa existente, agregó seis contrafuertes con pináculos a la casa y luego los unió con un intrincado trabajo en madera. Su única ayuda para hacer esto fue Thomas Durrell, un aprendiz de carpintero de barcos. Bourne pasó el resto de su vida agregando a estos adornos. Se ha dicho de Bourne: "El carpintero altamente calificado no conoce límites para su habilidad".​ Es llamada la "casa más fotografiada del estado" de Maine.​ Nombre El nombre de "Pastel de bodas" se aplicó a la casa debido a su apariencia de pastel de bodas. Se desarrolló la leyenda de que el ocupado Bourne, un capitán de barco, había hecho el trabajo de carpintería para expiar el hecho de no haber llevado a su novia, Jane, a una luna de miel adecuada. Este no era el caso.​ Restauración En 1983, Mary Burnett y su hija Anne compraron la casa al último descendiente de George Bourne para vivir allí. Ellas restauraron completamente la mansión, completando la obra en 1984. En el otoño de 2005, los propietarios actuales Jimmy Barker y Kenneth W. Douglas abrieron la casa al público por primera vez como una recaudación de fondos para el alivio del huracán Katrina.

Wedding Cake House (Kennebunk)

La Wedding Cake House (letteralmente "casa della torta nuziale") è uno storico edificio della cittadina statunitense di Kennebunk, nel Maine, realizzato a partire dal 1825. Per la sua particolare forma, che ricorda quella di un dolce, costituisce un'attrattiva turistica, tanto da essere considerata la casa più fotografata del Maine e una delle più fotografate di tutto il New England. Storia L'edificio venne costruito nel 1825 come dimora di George Washington Bourne, un armatore locale, e della moglie Jane. La costruzione dell'edificio venne commissionata dai genitori di Bourne come regalo di nozze e Bourne e la moglie vi andarono ad abitare l'anno seguente. Secondo la leggenda, George Bourne sarebbe stato richiamato in mare alla vigilia delle nozze e avrebbe celebrato le nozze in tutta fretta non avendo neanche il tempo di tagliare la torta nuziale: per questo motivo avrebbe promesso alla moglie di ristrutturare la casa dandole la forma appunto di una torta nuziale. In realtà, pare che Bourne, per la sua opera di ristrutturazione della casa, che in origine aveva una forma modesta, si fosse stato ispirato alla struttura del duomo di Milano. Nel 1852, l'edificio fu interessato da un incendio, che distrusse il fienile, che era stato aggiunto da Bourne durante la ristrutturazione della casa. Descrizione L'edificio si trova al nr. 104 di Summer Street ed è in stile gotico. Note Bibliografia Vari, USA, London - Milano, Dorling Kindersley - Mondadori, 2004-2008.

William A. Robinson House is a historic house at 11 Forest Avenue in Auburn, Maine. Built in 1874, it is one of the region's finest examples of Late Gothic Revival architecture, and is the state's only surviving work of local architects Herbert and Balston Kenway. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Description and history The Robinson House stands in a residential area west of Auburn's downtown, on the west side of Forest Avenue, and is set on a hill overlooking the downtown. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a busy roofline featuring several gables and corbelled brick chimneys. The gables are decorated in Gothic vergeboard, with the gable ends topped by small finials. The walls are clad in vertical board siding. A three-story square tower rises on the left side, topped by a flared pyramidal roof. A hip-roofed porch extends from the tower's left and around to the side, supported by turned posts with brackets. The house was built in 1874 to a design by local architects Herbert and Balston Kenway. The Kenway brothers were Welsh immigrants, and the designed this house for William A. Robinson, a druggist from whom they received their first known commission, for his retail store. After three years of work (1873–75) the brothers both left the state. This commission represents a success translation of English ideas about Gothic architecture from the more traditional brick or stone into wood.
