Baxter Summer Home, Historic summer house in Falmouth, US.
The Baxter Summer Home stands on Mackworth Island with dark red brick walls, green terracotta tile roof, and fieldstone foundation near Casco Bay.
James Phinney Baxter, a six-term Portland mayor and businessman, constructed this summer residence between 1917 and 1918 on Mackworth Island.
The main entrance features a sailing motif in stained glass, reflecting the maritime heritage of the Maine coast through architectural elements.
The property belongs to the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf since 1943, and access to the house requires advance arrangements with the institution.
The circular solarium on the north side and enclosed porch along the south showcase different solar exposures for year-round comfort.
