storytelling through architecture

The Whitten House in Topsham, Maine, is more than a historic building—it’s a space alive with history and creativity. Built nearly two centuries ago, it has transformed from a family home to a public library and back to a private residence, with every beam and floorboard carrying the weight of its story. Today, it offers warmth, inspiration, and a connection to the past. For me, it’s been a sanctuary for reflection and growth, fueled by the hospitality of its owners, Andrew and Scott. The Whitten House reminds me of the legacies we inherit and the enduring stories we help shape.
