The Maine House [shows] us the dignity and aching beauty, in preserving Maines quirky architectural past.Maine Homes by Down East
Spend any amount of time in Mainea weekend, a summer, a lifetimeand its impression lasts forever. When The Maine House was published in 2021, the reception was astonishing. Over four printings and across the world, The Maine House sounded a rallying cry, summed up perfectly in one of dozens of reviews, that it crafts a plea to preserve a living history belonging to individual, family, and state; a visual call to recognize these homey structures and others like them as extraordinary gifts.
The Maine House II moves beyond the authors cri de coeur; theyre on a mission. Through 30 homesinland, inshore, and on islandsMaura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, and Kathleen Hackett highlight the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most.
From visionaries who saw home in a post-and-beam barn, a lighthouse, a former hotel, and a boat shed to families resolutely leaving generational homes largely untouched (some continuing to live off the grid) and still others honoring vernacular architecture by living with it in surprising ways, The Maine House II captures the myriad ways one can live in this singular placein the presentwhile preserving the past and ensuring its future.
