A Haven of Tranquility
Nestled amidst lush gardens and shimmering waters, the Summer Cottage exudes an aura of peace and serenity. The cottage's exterior, painted in a soothing white, blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. White picket fences and sprawling verandas invite you to unwind and soak up the exquisite beauty of nature.
As you step inside the cottage, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light that floods the open and airy living spaces. White walls create a canvas for vibrant artwork, while large windows offer panoramic views of the water and gardens. The cottage's interior is a sanctuary of comfort and relaxation, with soft furnishings and inviting nooks that encourage you to linger and savor the moment.
A Tapestry of Art and Creativity
Viola Shipman, the cottage's former owner, was a renowned artist and collector. Her eclectic taste and passion for the arts are evident throughout the cottage. The walls are adorned with her own vibrant watercolors and paintings, capturing the essence of the Maine coastline and the cottage's idyllic surroundings.
In addition to her own artwork, Shipman filled the cottage with a diverse collection of paintings, sculptures, and antiques. Each piece tells a story and adds to the cottage's charming and eclectic ambiance. The cottage is a true testament to Shipman's love of art and her ability to create a space that inspires creativity and imagination.
A Legacy of Architectural Charm
The Summer Cottage is not only a haven of art but also a showcase of architectural whimsy. Designed by the renowned architect William Ralph Emerson, the cottage is a masterpiece of the Shingle Style, a popular architectural style of the late 19th century. The cottage's asymmetrical facade, covered in wooden shingles, gives it a rustic yet elegant character.
The cottage's exterior features a series of charming porches and balconies, perfect for capturing the summer breeze and enjoying the panoramic views. The interior spaces are characterized by high ceilings, intricate moldings, and fireplaces, creating a sense of warmth and intimacy. The Summer Cottage is a testament to Emerson's architectural ingenuity and his ability to design spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
A Place of Inspiration
The Summer Cottage has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and musicians throughout its history. Shipman's own artistic endeavors were greatly influenced by the cottage and its surroundings. The cottage's tranquil atmosphere and stunning beauty have provided a creative sanctuary for countless individuals.
Today, the Summer Cottage is open to the public as a museum, allowing visitors to experience its unique charm and appreciate the artistic legacy of Viola Shipman. The cottage serves as a reminder of the power of creativity and the importance of preserving our architectural and cultural heritage.
