The Governor William King House, a stone residence built in 1812 on Whiskeag Road in Bath, Maine, stands as one of New England's earliest examples of Gothic Revival architecture. Commissioned as a summer retreat for William King—the political figure who championed Maine's independence and became the state's first governor—the house is distinguished by its lancet-arch windows, a hallmark Gothic Revival feature. Known locally as the Stone House for its substantial masonry construction, it was recognized for its historical significance when listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
