In 1980, Stephen King bought a $135,000 Victorian mansion in Maine; today, it preserves his literary archives
Stephen and Tabitha King have breathed new life into their old Bangor family home by establishing a nonprofit literary preservation center. This inspiring venue features King's personal collection of manuscripts and photographs for public viewing by appointment. Furthermore, the neighboring Brown Mansion acts as a sanctuary for chosen writers, offering private accommodations and a $2,500 stipend to fuel their creative processes.
