Kennebunk contains fine examples of
early architecture, the most noted of
which is the Wedding Cake House, a Federal-style
dwelling extensively decorated with
scroll saw Gothic trim. This was added
to the house for his wife of many years
by George Washington Bourne late in
his life, and not as legend has it by
a ship captain for a young bride lost
at sea. Local economy is tourism based.
The headquarters for the natural health-care

and art center, the Brick Store Museum,
on Main Street. Many residents commute
