Kennebunkport Maine St Anns By the Sea Church 1930s RPPC Postcard Unposted

This 1930s real photo postcard depicts St Ann’s by the Sea in Kennebunkport, Maine, capturing a coastal Episcopal chapel within an early automobile-era village landscape.

Kennebunkport developed as a seasonal seaside community during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with churches and civic structures positioned prominently along winding coastal roads. St Ann’s by the Sea, constructed in rustic stone with a square tower and cross-topped roofline, reflects the restrained ecclesiastical architecture favored in New England resort settings. Real photo postcards of the interwar period often recorded such landmarks alongside visible automobiles, situating traditional architecture within a modernizing transportation context.

The image presents a curved dirt roadway leading toward the stone chapel, bordered by hedges and mature trees, with several early automobiles visible along the drive. A handwritten-style caption at the lower left reads St Ann’s By the Sea, Kennebunkport Me., with the number 581 appearing at the lower right. The reverse shows a standard correspondence back format and is unposted, with no writing or postal markings present. The item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
