The Gyger House is a historic home in Cumberland Foreside, Maine, United States. Located at 70 Foreside Road (Maine State Route 88), it contains several eras of construction, with the oldest being mid-to-late 18th century,[1] around fifty years before Cumberland's secession from North Yarmouth occurred.[2] Other sections of the home date to the 1860s and 1920s.[3]
The historic section of Foreside Road on which is stands, known as the Sturdivant neighborhood,[4] includes the Ephraim Sturdivant House at 114 Foreside Road (completed in 1810),[5] 77 Foreside Road (1873) and 74 Foreside Road (1850).
