Kate Douglas Wiggin House
Kate Douglas Wiggin House, Historic house in Hollis, Maine
The Kate Douglas Wiggin House stands as a two-and-a-half-story wooden structure with five bays, clapboard siding, and a gable roof on Salmon Falls Road.
Built in 1797 by Jabez Bradbury, the house changed ownership in the early 19th century before becoming the residence of writer Kate Douglas Wiggin from 1905 to 1923.
The interior features wall murals from 1820 attributed to Rufus Porter, while one upstairs room contains a curved ceiling that indicates its former use as a ballroom.
The house layout places public areas toward the front of the building, with bedrooms, kitchen, and pantry arranged in the rear section of the structure.
A 1905 addition includes a balcony that overlooks a projecting bay window from the sitting room, enhancing the architectural elements of this Greek Revival building.
