Walker's Point Estate (also known as the Bush compound) is a private family estate and former Summer White House located in Kennebunkport, Maine. The estate has served as the summer retreat of the Bush family for over a century, beginning with George Herbert Walker in the early 1900s. It gained national prominence as the Summer White House during the presidency of George H. W. Bush (1989–1993), commonly called simply Kennebunkport during that period. The property continued to host presidential visits during the administration of his son, George W. Bush (2001–2009). Located on Walker's Point, a promontory extending into the Atlantic Ocean, the estate consists of a main house built in the New England shingle style, along with several outbuildings and recreational facilities. The property has served as a venue for diplomatic meetings with world leaders and remains an active family residence.
