Маяк Сквиррел-Пойнт

Маяк Сквиррел-Пойнт (англ. Squirrel Point Light) — маяк, расположенный на небольшом острове Эрроусик, который находится в дельте реки Кеннебек, округ Сагадахок, штат Мэн, США. Построен в 1898 году. Автоматизирован в 1982 году. Административно принадлежит городу Эрроусик. История В 1884 году была основана верфь Bath Iron Works, и довольно скоро она стала одним из крупнейших предприятий отрасли, строящим много кораблей, которым она остается и по сей день. Потому возникла необходимость в улучшении навигации по реке Кеннебек, ведущей к верфи. Средства на строительство 5 маяков (среди которых также маяк Даблинг-Пойнт) вдоль реки Кеннебек в размере 17 000$ были выделены Конгрессом США 2 марта 1895 года. В 1898 году маяк был открыт. Комплекс зданий маяка включал в себя деревянную восьмиугольную башню высотой 5,2 метра с железной палубой и ограждением вокруг, оборудованную линзой Френеля, деревянный двухэтажный дом смотрителя, и деревянную хозяйственную постройку. В 1900 году дополнительно был построен эллинг. В 1906 году дополнительно была построена небольшая котельная. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1982 году. В 1988 году он был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Фотографии Примечания
St. Cyril and St. Methodius Church (Lisbon Falls, Maine)

St. Cyril and St. Methodius Church is an historic former church building at 51 Main Street in Lisbon Falls, Maine. The church was designed in 1923 by Lewiston architects Gibbs & Pulsifer, and is an imposing example of neo-Gothic architecture for a relatively small community. It is also the only known church in Maine with association to the Slovak immigrant community. It was dedicated in 1926 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It is presently home to the Maine Art Glass Studio. Description and history The former St. Cyril and St. Methodius Church is located in the village of Lisbon Falls, at the southeast corner of Main Street (Maine State Route 125) and High Street. It is a large rectangular brick building. with a gabled roof. The front facade is flanked by squat square towers with buttress-style projecting pilasters at the corners. The center of the facade has a large Gothic arch, in which there are two entrances, each also set in arches, with a circle-in-cross design above. Atop the large arch is a wagon-wheel rose window, and the gable above is crested by a cross. The Slovak community in Lisbon Falls was former in the 1890s, when a group migrated there from New Jersey in search of work at the Worumbo Mill, and formed a tightly knit social group. Alienated from other well-established cultural groups, they formed their own Catholic organization, and raised funds to build this church, which was completed in 1923. It was formally accepted into the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland in 1936. The building now houses a studio of glass artists.

St. David Catholic Church

St. David Catholic Church is a historic church at 774 Main Street (United States Route 1) in Madawaska, Maine. Built in 1911, it is an architecturally distinctive blend of Baroque revival and Italian Renaissance revival architecture. The congregation was the first separate Roman Catholic congregation established in Madawaska, the result of many years' struggle, after the international border divided the French Catholic community here in 1842. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Description and history St. David Catholic Church is set on the north side of US Route 1, between the road and the Saint John River. Its location is not far from the first landing site of the first French Acadians to arrive in the area in 1785. It is a large edifice, with a two-story facade with a central tower, and a large sanctuary behind, set on a stone foundation. The building is brick, with stone and wooden trim elements. The side walls of the sanctuary are divided into bays articulated by pilasters, with lancet-arched windows. The main facade is divided into five bays, the central three projecting. As on the sides, the bays are articulated by pilasters. There are three entrances, one at the center and two at the outer bays. All are set in round-arch openings, that in the center a more elaborate stone-trimmed setting. The second story repeats the arrangement of arched openings, with the bays flanking the center having sash windows with oriel windows above. A third level above the center bay begins the tower, which continues with an open octagonal belfry that has Corinthian columns supporting keystone arches. The parish of St. David was established in the Diocese of Portland in 1871, after many years of petition by local French Catholics. The area had been disputed territory between Maine and neighboring New Brunswick, and the 1842 Webster-Ashburton Treaty, which set the border on the Saint John River, divided the community. The Catholic population remained part of the Diocese of New Brunswick, but difficulties attending services in Canada, and the unwillingness of diocesan leaders to deal with Maine authorities prompted the drive for division, which was granted by papal decree in 1870. The parish's first church was completed in 1872; this larger church built in 1911–12 to a design by Chickering & O'Connell of Boston, and was dedicated in 1913.

Église Saint-David de Madawaska

L'église Saint-David (en anglais : St. David Catholic Church) est un édifice religieux catholique et principal sanctuaire catholique de la ville de Madawaska, dans l'État américain du Maine. Construite en 1911, l’église maintient une pastorale francophone acadienne dans la ville. Historique Au milieu du XIXe siècle, la ville de Madawaska accueillit de nombreux immigrants canadiens catholiques pour travailler notamment dans les moulins de textiles. Leur arrivée créa le besoin d'un prêtre catholique pour assurer une pastorale francophone. L'église fut édifiée en 1911 sur un terrain situé entre la route principale et la rive du fleuve Saint-Jean près du site historique où débarquèrent de leurs canoés, une vingtaine de familles acadiennes en 1785, site connu sous le nom de Acadian Landing Site. Le bâtiment est un mélange architectural liant l'architecture baroque et le style Renaissance italienne. L'édifice religieux fut la première congrégation catholique établie au Madawaska, résultat de nombreuses années de lutte, après que la frontière internationale eut divisé la communauté catholique française en 1842 après le conflit territorial entre le Royaume-Uni et les États-Unis en 1838/1839 pendant la guerre d'Aroostook et qui déboucha sur le traité Webster-Ashburton qui mit un terme au différend frontalier. En 1871, l'église paroissiale Saint-David fut rattachée au diocèse de Portland. Le bâtiment fut inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques en 1973. Les offices religieux y sont célébrés en anglais et en français selon les besoins des paroissiens. Les traditions religieuses acadiennes sont célébrées suivies de repas regroupant de nombreux convives et fidèles dans le sous-sol de l'église même.

St. Denis Catholic Church

St. Denis Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church at 298 Grand Army Road (Maine State Route 126) in North Whitefield, Maine. Built 1833–38, it is the third oldest Catholic church in New England. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It remains in use as an active community of the Parish of St. Michael in the Diocese of Portland. Description and history The St. Denis Church complex stands in a rural setting, at a bend in SR 126 west of North Whitefield, just east of its junction with Cooper Road. The complex includes two buildings, both of brick: the church itself, located on the south side of the road, and the parish hall, on the north side. The church is a single-story structure, with a gabled roof and a square tower attached to the left side. The front facade is three bays wide, articulated by pilasters, with entrances set below square gallery-level windows. The tower is built in the Italian campanile style, with corner pilasters rises to clock stage and then an open belfry with paired round-arch openings on each side. It is topped by a flat roof. The church interior is decorated in an early version of the Gothic Revival. The parish was established in 1818 as "St. Dennis" parish, and originally met in a wood-frame structure built on this site. Between 1833 and 1838, the main portion of the present brick building was built around that building. The parish was renamed with a single "n" in 1850. The tower was added in 1861, and the stained glass windows also date from later in the 19th century. The parish hall was built in 1871. The church underwent a major restoration in 1997. On July 1, 2007, the parish of St. Denis was canonically merged with St. Mary of the Assumption in Augusta, St. Augustine in Augusta, St. Andrew in Augusta, and St. Joseph in Gardiner to form St. Michael Catholic Parish, serving all of central Maine.

St. James Episcopal Church (Old Town, Maine)

St. James Episcopal Church is a historic church at Center and Main Streets in the heart of Old Town, Maine. Built in 1892, the church is one of Old Town's few 19th century landmarks, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Its current minister is the Rev. Jane White-Hassler. The church reported 40 members in 2018 and 46 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $67,277. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 26 persons. Description and history St. James Episcopal Church is located at the southwestern corner of Main and Center Streets in the very center of Old Town. It is a single-story wood frame structure with Gothic Revival styling. It is roughly rectangular in plan, with a gable roof and wood shingle siding, and rests on a stone foundation that was built for the congregation's original church in 1852. The tower projects near the western end of the long north side of the building, housing the main entrance at its ground level. The entry consists of double-leaf medieval doors, sheltered by a gabled portico with half-timbering in the gable end. At the second level the tower has a diamond-paned rectangular window, above which the tower transitions to an octagonal shape, with an open belfry whose openings are topped by Gothic tracery. An octagonal steeple caps the tower. A second section projects from near the eastern end of the northern long side. The gabled ends of the church have simple bargeboard decoration. The interior is relatively unaltered, having suffered minor damage in a 1952 fire. St. James Parish was organized in Old Town in 1849, and its first church was built in 1852. This church was built in 1892 to replace that deteriorating structure. It was designed by Henry Vaughan, an English architect whose extensive work in the United States includes a number of significant Gothic Revival structures. This is one of four works in the state of Maine known to be his work; the others are St. Andrews Church in Newcastle, and Hubbard Hall and the Searles Science Center at Bowdoin College in Brunswick.

St. John's Catholic Church (Bangor, Maine)

St. John's Catholic Church is a historic church at 217 York Street in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1855 at the height of the anti-immigrant Know Nothing movement, it stands as a major symbol of the city's Irish-American heritage, and a high quality local example of Gothic Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Description The church is located on the south side of York Street, between Boyd and Newbury Streets, east of Bangor's central business district. It is a brick building with a cruciform plan, with a slate roof and a stone foundation. A tower 180 feet (55 m) in height projects slightly from the front (north) facade, with entrances at the tower's center and in the flanking walls, set in Gothic-arched openings. Buttresses reinforce the side walls and building corners. The church interior is divided into a long nave, with transepts housing chapels at the sides. The supporting columns have capitals decorated with cherubim and foliage. The organ is an 1860 E. and G. G. Hook Opus 288 instrument, which was restored in 1981; there are fewer than 55 known three-manual E. & G. G. Hook organs remaining in existence today. History The church was designed by New York City architect Patrick Charles Keely, and was built in 1855-56, during the tenure of Fr. Johannes Bapst. Its construction was done by primarily local Irish laborers during the anti-Irish anti-immigrant Know Nothing movement, which was then at its height. Security had to be posted at the construction site to guard against threats to destroy it. The building today also houses the parish offices of St. Paul the Apostle Parish, which includes the church of St. John, as well as St. Mary's in Bangor, St. Joseph and St. Theresa of Avila in Brewer, St. Matthew in Hampden, and St. Gabriel in Winterport. Former three-term Bangor Mayor Dennis Soucy founded his credit union, St. John's Credit Union, in the basement of the church in 1956 to serve its parishioners. Now known as Bangor Federal Credit Union, the credit union currently has more than 14,000 members, as of 2013.

St. John's Episcopal Church (Dresden Mills, Maine)

St. John's Episcopal Church is a historic church on the south side of Maine State Route 27 at Blinn Hill Road in Dresden Mills, Maine. Built in 1832, it is a distinctive architectural blend of Federal, Greek Revival and Gothic Revival styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

St. Mary's Church (Augusta, Maine)

St. Mary's Church is a Catholic church at 41 Western Avenue in Augusta, Maine. It is under the Diocese of Portland. Built in 1926, it is one of the city's finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

The main entrance is at the center of the nave end, in an ornately decorated projecting Gothic-arch opening, with buttresses and pinnacles at the corners. The main tower is equally ornate, rising first to a gabled roof with a tall steeple above that. The interior has seen only minimal alteration since the building's construction. The church was built in 1926-27 in order to handle growth in the city's Roman Catholic population. It was built as the third sanctuary for a parish established in 1830. It was designed by the Boston architectural firm of O'Connell & Shaw; Timothy G. O'Connell had by then a well-established reputation, with numerous commissions for Roman Catholic church and school edifices in Maine. St. Mary's was merged with four other congregations in 2007 to form a single large parish called St. Michael's; this continues to be used as one of that parish's churches.

St. Patrick's Catholic Church (Newcastle, Maine)

St. Patrick's Catholic Church is a historic church at 380 Academy Hill Road in Newcastle, Maine. Built in 1807, it is the oldest surviving Roman Catholic church building in New England, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It remains in use as a community within the Parish of All Saints in the Diocese of Portland. Description and history St. Patrick's Catholic Church stands in a rural setting a short way south of the village of Damariscotta Mills, on the west side of Academy Hill Road just south of its junction with Maine State Route 215. It is a rectangular brick building, bearing some stylistic resemblance to churches of the period in Virginia. It has a gabled roof, and a projecting square tower with the main entrance at its base, set in a segmented-arch opening. The next stage of the tower has a round window, with a belfry at the next stage that has round-arch louvered openings. A projecting cornice separates the belfry from the two-stage steeple, which is topped by a cross. Historic photos of the church show it with a hipped roof over the belfry instead of a steeple. The interior of the church retains original fixtures, including floors, pews, and altar. The church was built in 1807 and consecrated in 1808. Its construction was made possible by the efforts of two prominent local businessmen, both Irish immigrants. The parish was organized in 1796 by James Kavanagh and Matthew Cottrill, and first met without a priest in a wood-frame chapel. Kavanagh and Cottrill paid for construction of this edifice, which is built with brick made across the Damariscotta River and hauled across the frozen river in winter. Lime for its mortar was imported from Ireland. The church's design is attributed to Nicholas Codd, who also built the Gov. Edward Kavanaugh House in Damariscotta Mills and the Matthew Cottrill House in Damariscotta. It is the oldest surviving Roman Catholic church in New England. Among the historical artifacts in the church are a bell cast by Paul Revere & Sons and the original altar that Jean-Louis Lefebvre de Cheverus used to consecrate the building. On July 1, 2009, the parish of St. Patrick was merged with five others to form All Saints Parish, as part of a reorganization plan promulgated in 2005. In 2013, the parish history group discovered that the building needed restoration. Parishioners and local donors raised approximately $320,000 to fix the roof, masonry, and windows. The project was completed in 2022. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Lincoln County, Maine References External links Official website
