The 19th-century shingle style cottage, located on a hill overlooking Cape Neddick Harbor, will feature more than 24 spaces decorated by some of the region's finest interior and landscape designers.
To kick off the pre-show activities, the Old York staff and board of trustees hosted a reception at Jefferds Tavern to honor and introduce the designers chosen for this year's show house. Work has already begun and will continue until the opening Gala on July 14.
