Bray House

The Bray House is a wooden residential building in Kittery that reflects the traditional building style of early New England colonies. It shows typical features such as simple construction, small windows, and materials that settlers used during that time.

The house dates from the colonial period and documents the settlement patterns of European immigrants in Maine. It is a surviving example of how early inhabitants built their homes in New England under the conditions of that time.

The house shows how families in colonial New England organized their daily living spaces and built their homes. Its structure reveals much about the working methods and materials available during that era.

The site is located in Kittery, Maine, and like other historic buildings from this era, can often be explored from the outside. It helps to check ahead of time about access hours, since not all houses from this period are regularly open to visitors.

The house was built from locally available materials and shows how building skills were directly adapted to resources found in the area. This practical solution made the structure a good example of the resourcefulness of early settlers.
