Henry Boody House, Gothic Revival residence in Brunswick, Maine
The Henry Boody House features board-and-batten siding, a granite foundation, and two projecting gabled sections connected by a central component with a perpendicular roof ridge.
Built in 1849, the house was designed by architect Gervase Wheeler for Henry Hill Boody, a Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Bowdoin College from 1845 to 1854.
The architectural design of this residence gained recognition after its publication in Andrew Jackson Downing's influential work of 1850, setting standards for American residential architecture.
The exterior of this National Register of Historic Places property remains visible from Maine Street in Brunswick, while Bowdoin College maintains ownership of the structure.
The house displays an H-shaped configuration with identical Gothic trim on street-facing gables and single-story projecting window bays that demonstrate period construction methods.
