Sarah Orne Jewett House, Historic literary house in South Berwick, Maine, United States.
The Sarah Orne Jewett House, built in 1774, features Georgian architecture with clapboard siding, three gabled dormers, and elaborately decorated interior spaces.
The property became home to the Jewett family in the 1820s when merchant Theodore Jewett purchased it from John Haggins's estate in 1839.
The house preserves the living and writing environment of Sarah Orne Jewett, who created influential works about New England life in the late 1800s.
The museum opens every weekend from June through October and two Saturdays monthly during other months, offering guided tours of the preserved rooms.
The interior staircase contains intricately carved balusters and posts that required two craftsmen working for 100 days to complete.
