The Wedding Cake House, also known as the George W. Bourne House, is a cherished historic gem nestled at 104 Summer Street in Kennebunk, Maine. Built in 1825 by the skilled shipbuilder George W. Bourne, this picturesque residence has captured the hearts of many as the "most photographed house in the state" of Maine. The meticulous craftsmanship of Bourne is evident in the intricate details that adorn the house, showcasing a blend of elegance and architectural finesse.

After being lovingly restored in 1984 by Mary Burnett and her daughter Anne, the Wedding Cake House continues to stand as a testament to its rich history and timeless beauty. In a heartwarming gesture, previous owner Jimmy Barker opened its doors to the public in 2005 for a fundraiser, allowing visitors a glimpse into its storied past. With ongoing restoration efforts since 2019, this iconic residence remains a beacon of charm and historical significance in the heart of Kennebunk.
