Bourne (1801–1856), who later built a frame barn which he connected to the main house with a carriage house.

| - Wedding Cake House, conocida formalmente como George W. Bourne House, es una casa histórica ubicada en 104 Summer Street en Kennebunk, Maine. Fue construida en 1825 por el constructor naval George W. Bourne, quien más tarde construyó un granero que conectó a la casa con una cochera. En 1852, el granero se incendió y la cochera fue derribada para evitar que el fuego se extendiera a la casa. Bourne, que durante una gira europea quedó impresionado por la belleza gótica de la catedral de Milán, reconstruyó la cochera y el granero en lo que más tarde se conocería como estilo gótico carpintero. Usando herramientas manuales, elaboró cinco contrafuertes con pináculos encima de cada uno. Luego, para unir las nuevas estructuras con la casa existente, agregó seis contrafuertes con pináculos a la casa (es)

Usando herramientas manuales, elaboró cinco contrafuertes con pináculos encima de cada uno. Luego, para unir las nuevas estructuras con la casa existente, agregó seis contrafuertes con pináculos a la casa y luego los unió con un intrincado trabajo en madera. Su única ayuda para hacer esto fue Thomas Durrell, un aprendiz de carpintero de barcos. Bourne pasó el resto de su vida agregando a estos adornos. Se ha dicho de Bourne: "El carpintero altamente calificado no conoce límites para su habilidad".Es llamada la "casa más fotografiada del estado" de Maine. (es)

Using hand tools, he crafted five buttresses with pinnacles on top of each. Then in order to tie the new structures in with the existing house, he added six buttresses with pinnacles to the house and then joined them together with intricate woodwork. His only help in doing this was Thomas Durrell, an apprentice ship's carpenter. Bourne spent the rest of his life adding to these embellishments. It has been said of Bourne: "The highly skilled carpenter knew no limits to his skill." (en)
