Conant-Sawyer Cottage

The Conant-Sawyer Cottage, located in York Beach, Maine, is a historic summer house built in 1877 and expanded in 1896. This well-preserved example of late 19th-century architecture features a distinctive L-shaped design with a mansard roof and a charming wraparound porch. Notable past owners include New Hampshire Governor Charles Henry Sawyer and shoe manufacturer Sumner Wallace. The cottage is situated near Nubble Point and reflects the area's history as a popular resort for middle-class vacationers from New Hampshire. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in American architectural history.
