Home’s History

Constructed in 1855, this residence served as the former rectory for the St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Wiscasset, Maine, adding a rich historical layer to its already distinguished character.

Embodying the dramatic elegance of Gothic Revival architecture, the house captures the eye with its dark blue facade, a recent enhancement that deepens its mystique while accentuating the period’s architectural features.

This isn’t your typical colonial charmer; it’s a house with a story, and its very presence is a captivating conversation starter.

The previous color palette of rosy pink accented with cream trim and details has given way to this sophisticated new dark blue hue, adding a layer of modern elegance to its historic beauty.
