1. The Nathaniel Frost Home / La Maison de Nathaniel Frost Marker
This Federal home was built in 1799 for Nathaniel Frost by Thomas Eaton who was responsible for many residential and commercial buildings in Kennebunk. The original building on this lot was built by Theodore Lyman in 1770 and later moved. That building is now a private residence on 28 Water Street. This property is often referred to as Lexington Elms for the elm trees Mr. Lyman planted in the front yard to commemorate the Battle of Lexington in 1775. Sadly these elms succumbed to Dutch Elm disease in the 1960s.
