The Bray House is a historic house at 100 Pepperell Road in Kittery Point, Maine, United States. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Maine. Long thought to be a 17th-century house, the architectural evidence indicates that this house was probably built around 1720. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.〔 ==Description and history== The Bray House is set on the south side of Pepperell Road (Maine State Route 103), on a site overlooking the Piscataqua River. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, whose main block is five bays wide, with a side gable roof, large central chimney, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. The entrance, centered on the river-facing south facade, is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and is topped by an entablature. A two-story extension to the east adds two bays, and a narrow connecting segment joins the main house to a second 2-1/2 story house, oriented perpendicular to the main block, that was moved to this property in the early 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Bray House )〕 This location is known to be the place where John Bray built a house in about 1662. Although it is possible that parts of Bray's original house survive in the present structure, the construction methods and styling of this house are consistent with a construction date of about 1720. This is still adequate to make the house one of Maine's oldest surviving structures.〔 Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame purchased the house in 2008 and undertook its restoration. He later sold the restored property for $1.6 million; the new owners have proposed alterations to the structure to highlight the oldest portion of the house.
