Gilmore House (Calais, Maine)

The Gilmore House is a historic house at 764 River Road in Calais, Maine. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was designed by New Brunswick architect and built c. 1850, probably for Alexander Gilmore, an Irish immigrant and local merchant. The house is a remarkably sophisticated execution of Gothic Revival styling, given that at the time of its construction, Calais was essentially a frontier town. It is the most sophisticated of a trio of Gothic Revival houses. It is, like one of its neighbors, the George Washburn House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, although its address has changed since its listing.
