Wedding Cake House restoration brings new 'icing' to iconic Kennebunk landmark

KENNEBUNK, Maine — Almost all wedding cakes need bakers for their icing. When your wedding cake is a historic and beloved home at 104 Summer Street in Kennebunk, however, you need John Desmarais and his crew at Shoreline Millwork in Somersworth, New Hampshire. For much of this year, Desmarais and his team have been crafting cellular PVC trim to replicate and replace the old, wooden, and heavily deteriorated “icing” that decorated the Wedding Cake House for decades. Desmarais said cellular PVC is an ideal substitute for wood when it comes to exterior trim and architectural detail. “It will never swell, rot, split, crack, or delaminate like wood,” Desmarais said. “It is high-density plastic, making it moisture- and insect-resistant, unlike clear and premium lumber. It is ideal for exterior design products.” Including on the Wedding Cake House — one of the most photographed homes in Maine .

Bourne House and gets its nickname from its wedding cake-like appearance. The eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom home sits on 2.23 acres and has more

This map shows how Susan Collins’ electoral firewall crumbled in York County and other parts of Maine

In her previous five races for the U.S. Senate, Susan Collins had never lost York County. Her ability to overperform other Republicans in the southernmost part of Maine’s left-leaning 1st Congressional District served as an electoral firewall of sorts, helping power Collins to a string of victories over her 30-year Senate career.

This Old-Fashioned Maine Candy Shop Has Been Making Irresistible Chocolates Since 1956

The candy here is still cooked in hand-fused copper kettles over gas stoves that are more than 100 years old. That alone made me stop scrolling. Then I learned the shop still uses a refrigerator from 1930. Many of the recipes date back to 1956. The founder wrote them, and...

Marshwood, Kennebunk football coaches share history ahead of Class B South championship

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Long before Andrew Elwell and Keith Noel prepared to stand on opposite sidelines with a championship at stake, they stood on the same sideline at Sanford High School. Elwell and Noel spent the 2014 high school football season together as assistants under longtime Sanford High School coach Mike Fallon. On Saturday, they will meet as head coaches when Elwell's Marshwood High School football team faces Noel's Kennebunk High School Rams in the Class B South championship game. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. How we got here Marshwood, with the No. 1 seed on the line, beat Kennebunk, 32-16 , in the regular-season finale on Oct. 23.

Dover residents raise warming center safety fears. City responds.

DOVER — The Veterans Hall building at 156 Back River Road will serve as a temporary emergency cold-weather warming center for unhoused people starting Nov. 15. Many neighboring residents are raising security and safety concerns. The temporary location is needed due to construction delays for the new Strafford County warming center being built on County Farm Road. The new center won't be ready for the start of the 2026-2027 season, which runs from mid-November to mid-April. The shelter opens on extremely cold nights or in severe winter storms, as directed by Dover, Rochester and Somersworth leaders. Dec. 15 is the new estimated open date for the new facility, according to city officials and Strafford County Commission Chairman George Maglaras. Until then, if needed, the Veterans Hall building will be used, Dover city officials announced last week. This is a change after city officials had initially announced the McConnell Center cafeteria would be used as the temporary site. Concerns raised by residents around the Veterans Hall include drug use and improper disposal of needles, according to those who reached out to Foster's Daily Democrat and posted in social media. Neighbors also claimed the building isn't adequate for the use and raised

Council Finds Way to Keep Eyes on Mill Complex

By a unanimous vote, the Sanford City Council on Tuesday moved forward with a contract for surveillance of the troubled International Woolen Mill property downtown. Mike Santoro, a representative of LVT Mobile Security, described for the council how live view technology, or solar-powered surveillance cameras, can monitor a space ethically, without invading anyone’s privacy, while still solving the issue of not having enough police officers for 24/7 watch of the property. The area has been plagued by trespassers, many of them unhoused, in recent years.

'Grit and tenacity': Somersworth offensive line paving the way in Division III playoffs

SOMERSWORTH — In last Saturday's 50-21 Division III quarterfinal playoff win over Laconia , the Somersworth High School football team had three backs all run for more than 100 yards, and had a total of 444 yards in the game. Somersworth head coach Jeremy Lambert pointed to the guys on the offensive line, and said that the success of the running game starts with grit and tenacity. And more standout performances will be needed in Saturday's semifinal game against No. 3 Monadnock. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Somersworth. "We need our line to continue to be able to keep their heads up, and play with some grit and tenacity, that's what it takes to play on the line with your hand in the dirt," Lambert said. "Those guys need to keep doing what they're doing there. They're going to move some bodies and they have the ability to do that." Seniors Collin Patterson and Brian Bjorkman have been at it for four years, and they are paired with a trio of sophomores in Diante Adams, Cole Garrett and Evan Utgard. Bjorkman, at 6-foot-1, 250 pounds, is at left tackle; Patterson, at 6-foot-2, 240, is at left guard; Garrett,
