George W. Bourne, who was inspired by the Gothic beauty of cathedrals he saw in Europe, built the Wedding Cake House in 1825. This historic house is known as “the most photographed house” in Maine and was aptly named due to its exterior, which resembles a wedding cake.
Bourne spent his entire adult life adding details to its exterior using hand tools. It was passed through his lineage, with the last of his descendants purchasing and restoring it in 1983-1984. The home hasn’t been open to the public since 2005, but it still remains a huge draw for locals and visitors alike.
