One of 14 original Russell Porter Cottages on Marshall Point Road, Gable Ends has been in the same family it was built for in 1917. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places * this exquisite summer cottage is part of the Land's End Historic District, a coveted summer enclave along the shores of Port Clyde. Built in a ''rustic English style. .. reminiscent of Hawthorne'' the cottage sits on almost 1 acre and 260 feet of unspoiled shoreline. The family has been meticulous about the upkeep as well as maintaining the authentic integrity of the original construction and detail. Port Clyde itself is a magical place; add to this a rare and remarkable cottage, built when Porter himself discovered this unspoiled, hidden and wildly beautiful village at the tip of the St. George Peninsula, and you'll find yourself transformed. * Historic Place Designation doesn't preclude updating the structure, but does encourage any modifications that preserve and respect the historical nature of the property. Residents of Cottage Road have the option of joining the dock association for a yearly fee to use the wharf and dock.
