Summary
For several years, acclaimed photographer Maura McEvoy and art director Basha Burwell travelled the length and breadth of Maine in search of houses that capture the state’s singular character. These are not designer houses; they are homes created by the people who live in them, from artists to writers to fishermen, distinctive for their ingenuity, originality, and fierce individuality. Many are unchanged, inhabited by generations of the same family; some are ingenious conversions. These are homes that have a kind of visual wealth that money can’t buy, homes that define the very spirit of Maine.

Critics Review
” The Maine House [is] a visual journey through delightfully ramshackle saltwater farms and fish shacks, to stately stone houses and cozy coastal cottages.”
“The Maine House is a detailed anthology of the charm, centuries-old nostalgia and various characteristics of these classic homes, and a historical documentation of many Maine cottages.”– “Cottages & Bungalows”
“The Maine House is a love letter to the region’s unpretentious cabins with their time-worn sofas, creaky floorboards, and, of course, spectacular surroundings.”– “The Edit”
“The Maine House [is] a visual journey through delightfully ramshackle saltwater farms and fish shacks, to stately stone houses and cozy coastal cottages.”– “New York Post”
“A new book celebrates the knotty-pine, windows-thrown-open-to-the-breeze beauty of archetypal Maine houses… . The Maine House [shows] us the dignity, and aching beauty, in preserving Maine’s quirky architectural past.”– “Maine Homes by Down East”
“A new design book reveals the Pine Tree State’s most quintessential homes… .The Maine House is filled with homes whose decoration, from slamming screen doors to unfinished walls and bric-a-brac kitchens, are as quirky as they are charming. As the book reveals, it’s the details–bookcases crammed with Stephen King thrillers, doors fronted by curtains, and a dose of practical magic–that get to the essence of what a home in Maine is all about.”– “Elle Decor”
“Buy the book. Feast on Vacationland style in the newly released The Maine House.”– “Coastal Living”
