Spend any amount of time in Maine - a weekend, a summer, a lifetime - and its impression lasts forever

When The Maine House was initially published, the reception was astonishing. Over multiple printings and across the world, the book sounded a rallying cry, summed up perfectly in one of dozens of reviews, that it ""crafts a plea to preserve a living history belonging to individual, family, and state; a visual call to recognize these homey structures and others like them as 'extraordinary gifts.'"" The Maine House II moves beyond the authors' cri de coeur; they're on a mission. Through 25 homes-inshore, inland, and on islands- McEvoy, Burwell, and Hackett highlight the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most. From visionaries who saw home in a decommissioned lighthouse, a former hotel, and a boat shed to families resolutely leaving generational homes largely untouched (some continuing to live off the grid) and still others honoring vernacular architecture by living with it in surprising ways, The Maine House II captures the myriad ways one can live in this singular place-in the present-while preserving the past and ensuring its future.

Reviews for The Maine House II

"“The Maine House II captures in intimate photographs and words Maine homes filled with heart and history. . . the beauty that lies within these pages is the ultimate love letter to our rugged and wild state.” -- Anna Mangum * Decor Maine * “A new book honors Maine’s historic architecture—humble, saltwater-weathered, and quintessentially ‘Maine.’” -- Lilah Ramzi * Vogue * “In this second volume, twenty-five homes that highlight the beauty and importance of preservation are captured in breathtaking photography and touching storytelling.” -- Jenna Talbott * New England Home * “Evocatively photographed by Maura McEvoy, you can practically smell the salt air. Passed down over time yet remarkably unchanged, the preservation of these family retreats is poetic in scope."" -- Wendy Jacob * House & Home * “30 houses across the Maine landscape, on islands, on the coast, and inland, that epitomize the vernacular architecture of the state. . . . The photographs are expansive and evocative. . . . these spaces speak to a way of life, a statewide aesthetic, and a time-loved sense of being.” -- Neal Wyatt * Library Journal *"
