Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A true journey back in time, the Skolfield-Whittier House was home to three generations of a prominent Brunswick family with careers in seafaring, medicine and education. Among the former residents are Alfred Skolfield a successful sea captain, Dr. Alice A.S. Whittier, Maine’s first female pediatrician, and Dr. Frank Whittier, one of America’s first forensic pathologists.
Closed and unheated for sixty years, the house remains almost exactly as it was in 1925 when it was last a occupied full-time. It has everything from the receipts used in the house’s construction in the 1850s to the 1920s spices in the kitchen pantry. Its seventeen rooms are viewed during personalized guided tours that provide an unparalleled glimpse into nineteenth-century upper-middle-class life in Maine. Closed for nearly two years, it reopened in 2011 after a major electrical rewiring of the mansion’s first floor. |
