The Isabella Breckinridge House also known as River House, and formerly the Breckinridge Public Affairs Center of Bowdoin College, is an historic house in York, Maine. The main house, designed by architect Guy Lowell, is a 23-room mansion which was built in 1905 for Mary Goodrich, widow of tire magnate B. F. Goodrich.[2] It is located on a 26-acre (11 ha) estate at 201 US Route 1, on the south side facing the York River. The property was given to Bowdoin College by Mary Marvin Breckinridge Patterson in 1974, and the college operated it as a conference center until it was sold into private hands in 2004.[1][3]
The House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The pool house, one of several outbuildings on the estate, suffered $50,000 in fire damage in 2011.[2]
