The Cottage on King's Row is a notable example of a Gothic Revival cottage that reflects the influence of mid-nineteenth-century architects and authors Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing. Erected c. 1854, this wood frame building exhibits the distinctive characteristics of the Gothic Revival style including asymmetry, steep roof slopes decorated with vergeboard and finials, and windows and doors accented by label moulds. The house appears to have been built by a ship's joiner, whose skilled hand is evident in the intricately carved porch supports and exterior moldings. The Cottage on King's Row is situated on a stretch of the main road in Round Pond, a village of the town of Bristol, Maine. Said to have been a community of sea captains, three of the neighboring houses were designed at about the same time and in the Gothic Revival style, but only the Cottage that is the subject of this nomination retains its historic design and integrity. The Cottage on King's Row was recognized by the National Register of Historic Places its architecture as a locally noteworthy structure that exhibits the distinctive characteristics Gothic Revival architecture.
