Online-Puzzle «Carpenter Gothic»

The George W. Bourne House (the Wedding Cake House) is a historic house located at 104 Summer Street in Kennebunk, Maine (USA). The home was built in 1825 by shipbuilder George W. Bourne (1801–1856) in a Carpenter Gothic style (the shipbuilder was inspired by the Gothic beauty of the cathedral at Milan). Carpenter Gothic, also sometimes called Carpenter's Gothic or Rural Gothic, is a North American architectural style-designation for an application of Gothic Revival architectural detailing and picturesque massing applied to wooden structures built by house-carpenters. The "Wedding Cake" name was applied to the house due to its wedding cake-like appearance. Legend developed that the busy Bourne, a sea captain, had done the carpentry work to atone for not having taken his bride, Jane, on a proper honeymoon. This was not the case. #USA   Monochrome Bereiche: 0%
