Pennellville Historic District
Pennellville Historic District, Historic residential district in Brunswick, Maine.
The Pennellville Historic District spans 130 acres along Middle Bay Cove, featuring Federal, Greek Revival, and Renaissance Revival architectural styles throughout its boundaries.
Thomas Pennell established the district before 1765, leading to the construction of a shipyard that produced over ninety wooden vessels between 1760 and 1874.
The neighborhood contains numerous ship captains' residences, reflecting the maritime heritage of Brunswick and its connection to New England's seafaring traditions.
Visitors can explore the Benjamin D. Pennell House from 1834 and James Pennell House from 1838, which showcase typical Greek Revival architectural elements.
The district preserves the legacy of the Pennell Brothers shipbuilding company, which operated at various locations within the bay until metal ships replaced wooden vessels.
