Kragsyde, Summer residence in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Maine.
The Kragsyde mansion demonstrates Shingle style architecture through its three-and-a-half stories, extensive porches, and granite foundations overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Built in 1885 by architects Peabody and Stearns, the mansion required an investment of $60,000, equivalent to over 2 million dollars in current value.
The mansion represents the preferences of wealthy families during the Gilded Age who sought coastal retreats away from urban environments.
The building features a V-shaped layout measuring 75 by 45 feet, with separate areas designated for guest entertainment and service functions.
Frederick Law Olmsted designed the surrounding landscape with terraces that emphasized natural features visible from multiple vantage points within the residence.
