47 W Broadway
Bangor, ME 04401
This spooky Victorian mansion in the heart of Bangor’s Whitney Park Historic District was, up until recently, the home of famed horror author Stephen King. Snap a picture in front of the iconic iron gate, adorned with spiders, bats, and even a three-headed dragon. There's even a frighteningly intricate tree sculpture that sits on the lawn. While you can't explore the interiors of the house—it's now a nonprofit and archive of King's work—there are tours that will take you to spots in Derry that have inspired his most famous work. The beautiful, century-old homes in the quiet neighborhood are worth a quick look, too. – Tripadvisor

Cool house but you can tell that he no longer lives there. Just looks like a house with an amazing wood carving in the front yard area.

Nice quiet neighborhood on a Sunday early afternoon found us swinging by this house for a few memory pictures on our way out of town. We enjoyed the decorative iron fencing around the house and...
