Image Info The first parishioners of St. Ann’s gathered in 1883 and worshiped in a pine grove near the present site of the Kennebunkport Inn. The Rev. George J. Prescott of Boston led the services and he was assisted by The Rev. John A. Bevington of Wareham, MA. In 1885 Mrs. Frank G. Ilsley of New Jersey proposed that a church be constructed.

The church was consecrated by The Rt. Rev. Henry Adams Neely, DD, Episcopal Bishop of Maine, on August 24, 1892. Since that date, the church has been used as a summer chapel without interruption.
The caption reads, "St. Ann's By the Sea, Kennebunkport, Maine."
The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
