The elegance of the late-Victorian Colonial Revival style is exemplified by Dark Harbor House.
Originally built for George and Ellen Philler, the cottage is on an island in Maine. It was designed by architect Frederick L. Savage for the Philadelphia banker and his wife and built in 1896, the “cottage” had serious structural and foundation issues from water infiltration before its recent restoration.
Photographer David Clough’s images capturing the beauty of the restored house are presented with historic photos and photos taken before and during the restoration process. It is one of 13 restored houses shot by Clough and featured between the how-to chapters of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
The 720-page best-selling hardcover book – 2020 Winner of the MWPA Excellence in Publishing Award – is available in bookstores nationwide and from online retailers.
