  Title: Wedding Cake House (Kennebunk, Maine)
  Passage: 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."

In 2008 the house was donated to the Dorchester County Historical Society by current owners Fitzhugh Lee Sweatman Jr and his wife, Martha Westbury-Sweatman.  The Dorchester County Historical Society under took an extensive restoration of the Colonial Era Plantation House and when completed, re-designated the house as the Koger-Murray-Carroll house for three of its previous owners who served in the South Carolina General Assembly: Joseph Koger (married the daughter of David Campbell and inherited the house on her death), Soule Murray (purchased the house and land from Joseph Koger), and James Parsons Carroll (purchased the property circa 1850).
