Cape Arundel Summer Colony Historic District
Cape Arundel Summer Colony Historic District, Historic district in Kennebunkport, United States.
The Cape Arundel district extends across 120 acres of coastal land, featuring numerous grand summer estates constructed between 1880 and 1940 along Ocean Avenue.
The Sea Shore Company initiated the area's transformation in the 1870s by acquiring land and constructing the Ocean Bluff Hotel after completing a railroad connection.
The Kennebunk River Club, established in 1889, functioned as a central meeting point for summer residents engaging in maritime activities and social gatherings.
Visitors can explore the district through guided tours that showcase the architectural designs of John Calvin Stevens, William Ralph Emerson, and Henry Paston Clark.
The district includes Walkers Point, where George Herbert Walker constructed two Shingle style houses in 1903, one of which remains as the Bush family residence.
