The George Washburn House is a historic house at 772 River Road in Calais, Maine. The 1-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1855 by George Washburn, and is one of a trio of Gothic Revival houses standing in a row. One of the others was built by George Washburn's brother Charles; the third, which is the most elaborate, was built by Alexander Gilmore. Nothing of substance is known of the Washburns, or of who built their houses.〔Beard, Frank; Bradley, Robert. NRHP nomination for George Washburn House.

The main facade is symmetrically arranged with a central entrance flanked by a pair of elongated windows. The entry is slightly recessed, with the door flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight. The second level consists of three steeply-pitched gables, aligned above the entry and windows below. The central gable is covers a small balcony that projects, providing a sheltered area above the entry. The balcony has spindled balusters and a decorative skirt. The gable is supported by square posts, which are joined by a decorative cut-wood valance. The gable end are decorated with bargeboard, with a finial and pendants. The flanking gables are simpler, with paired narrow windows topped by carved projecting lintels. These gable ends are also decorated with bargeboard and a slightly smaller finial and pendant.〔 At the rear of the house is a porch that was added in 1947 and enclosed in 1962.〔 ==See also==
