Former Upton Grange No. 404

The Former Upton Grange No. 404 is a historic former Grange hall on Maine State Route 26 in rural Upton, Maine. Built in 1899, this now privately owned wood-frame building has seen a variety of commercial, civic and social uses. It was first used as a factory for the manufacture of spruce gum before being acquired by the local Grange chapter in 1911, and was used for social events as well as town meetings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Description and history The Grange hall is a large rectangular clapboarded wood-frame structure with a central hip-roofed block flanked by shed-roofed additions. The main block is five bays wide, with a centered entrance; the left addition has a single window on the first floor, while the right addition has a second entry and window on the first floor, and another window on the second. The interior of the first floor consists of a large open space, with a raised platform at one end, and a storage area behind. At the east end of the building is another storage area, and stairs leading to the second floor, which is similar to the first, except there is no raised platform, and the storage area is larger. The main block of the building was constructed in 1899 by Frank W. Bragg, a local resident who set up a spruce gum manufacturing operation on the premises. This business declined with the advent of new forms of chewing gum, so Bragg sold the building to the local Grange organization in 1911. The Grange converted the lower floor into a social and meeting venue, and it was used by the community for social events (dances and parties) as well as town meetings. This use continued until the Grange chapter dissolved in the 1970s, and the building was sold into private hands. As of September 2024, the building is barely visible from Route 26, and is currently being restored by its new owners.

Victoria Mansion (aussi connue sous le nom de maison Morse-Libby) est une maison bourgeoise située dans la ville de Portland de l'État du Maine aux États-Unis. Cette maison est successivement la résidence de Ruggles Sylvester Morse et de son épouse Olive de 1860 à 1894, puis de Joseph Ralph Libby et ses successeurs de 1894 à 1929. En 1940, la maison est acquise par une société de préservation qui l'ouvre au public dès 1941 en tant que maison-musée historique. Le peintre américain, Edward Hopper, issu lui aussi de la Nouvelle-Angleterre et voyageant régulièrement dans le Maine, dessinera la maison en 1927. Construite entre 1858 et 1860, cette résidence est conçue et réalisée par l’architecte Henry Austin dans le style italianisant en suivant les tendances de l'architecture victorienne. L'intérieur est particulièrement décoré par l’artiste peintre italien Giuseppe Guidicini ainsi que l'entreprise en décoration d'intérieur Herter Brothers de New York. Cet édifice fait l’objet de quelques mesures de protection. Le 3 avril 1970, la Ville de Portland inclut la propriété dans l'aire de protection du district historique de la rue Spring. Le 19 mai 1970, le gouvernement fédéral inscrit la résidence au registre national des lieux historiques. Finalement, l'État du Maine déclare l'édifice monument historique national le 30 décembre 1970.

WMPG

WMPG (90.9 FM) is a community radio station broadcasting from Portland, Maine. It is located on Bedford Street at the University of Southern Maine Portland Campus. It is affiliated with the college, and a mix of USM students and volunteers from the greater Portland community produce all the music and local public affairs programs. It broadcasts 4.5 kilowatts on 90.9 (licensed to Gorham, where the main campus of USM is located). History The station was founded in 1970 by then eighteen year old freshman of the University of Southern Maine Howard Allen. Allen began that station in his dorm room in Anderson Hall on the Gorham campus with a small pirate-radio transmitter, a set of turntables, and his private record collection. At its inception, it was a carrier current station broadcasting under the call sign WGOR. Soon, other students became involved in the station, a club was formed to manage it which was subsequently recognized by the student government, and funded by the student activity fee. The club set up a large antenna on the roof of Anderson Hall which allowed the station's weak signal to reach further into the town of Gorham. Since most radio stations in the 1970s were transmitting on the AM frequency, Allen selected a frequency on the FM frequency, and WGOR began emitting a 100 milliwatt signal on 91.FM. The school administration did not become aware of the station until 1972 when a local newspaper wrote an article about WGOR. Seeing the station's educational potential, university administration arranged for Bill Crosby, the chief engineer of Maine Public Broadcasting Network (MPBN) in Orono, to help Allen and the club apply for FCC licensure. The broadcast license was granted by the FCC in the summer 1973 with a 10 watt signal reaching from Gorham to most of Portland. Allen graduated in 1974 leaving the station in the hands of future students. In 1988 the station upgraded its signal to 1.11 kilowatts and shifted frequency to 90.9 MHz. A 50 watt translator on 104.1 MHz located on Portland's Munjoy Hill went on the air in 1999. In 2008 WMPG was granted a construction permit to increase power to 4.5 kilowatts and move transmitting facilities from the Gorham campus of the University of Southern Maine to Blackstrap Mountain in Falmouth. After a lengthy fund-raising effort and a $120,000 US Department of Commerce grant WMPG started broadcasting at half its licensed upgraded power from the new transmitter site on December 14, 2011, one day before the construction permit was to expire. The 104.1 translator was sold to MPBN in 2016.

Дом Уодсворта — Лонгфелло

Дом Уодсворт—Лонгфелло (англ. Wadsworth-Longfellow House) - исторический дом-музей в городе Портленд штата Мэн, США. В 1963 году дом признан Национальным историческим памятником США и в 1966 году включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. Дом открыт для публичного посещения ежедневно с мая по октябрь. История Дом имеет историческую и литературную ценность, поскольку этот дом один из старейших домов Портленда, и дом в котором прошло детство известного американского поэта Генри Уодсворта Лонгфелло. Дом был построен в 1786 году генералом Войны за независимость США Пелегом Уодсвортом, и это был первый полностью кирпичный жилой дом в Портленде. Уодсворт вырастил десятерых детей. Его дочь - Зилпан вышла замуж за Стефана Лонгфелло, они поженились в этом доме. Их сын - Генри Лонгфелло родился 27 февраля 1807 года в доме сестры Стефана, расположенном неподалёку. Когда ребёнку исполнилось 9 месяцев семья Лонгфелло переехала в этот дом, а семья генерала Уодсворта переехала на семейную ферму в округе Оксфорд. Следующие 35 лет Генри Лонгфелло провёл в этом доме. Анна Лонгфелло Пирс (1810-1901) была последним членом семьи, кто жил в этом доме. Она предусмотрительно сохраняла дом в том виде, в котором он был во время генерала Уодсворта, и завещала дом и его обстановку Историческому обществу штата Мэн. Анна Пирс умерла в 1901 году, и Историческое общество штата Мэн через год открыло дом для публичного посещения Ссылки Дом на сайте Исторического общества штата Мэн
Waldo Theatre

The Waldo Theatre is a historic movie theater and performance venue at 916 Main Street in Waldoboro, Maine. Built in 1936 as a movie theater to a design by New York City architect Benjamin Schlanger, it was hailed at the time as one of the best-designed state-of-the-art small theaters in the country. It is now managed by a non-profit arts organization. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Waldo Theatre stands on the north side of Waldoboro's downtown Main Street, next door to the former U.S. Customhouse and Post Office. It is a two-story masonry structure with brick walls, wooden trim, and a gabled roof. The front has a Classical temple appearance, with four Tuscan columns rising to an entablature and fully pedimented gable. The gable rake edge and cornice are studded with modillions. The interior has minimal decoration, with that present suggestive of the Art Deco period. The construction of the theater is important in a number of respects. It is certainly one of the first envelope (building within a building) structures to be built and when warm air is circulated between the inner and outer partitions, human bodies can provide much of the necessary space heat on even the coldest winter day. Using steel, concrete, plaster, and metal laths, Schlanger built a space between the inner and outer walls wide enough for a person to walk through. A sophisticated ventilation system directs hot air down and cold air up and assures a complete change of air every few minutes. Comprised largely of steel concrete and brick, the building is essentially fireproof. The theater was built in 1936 by the local Cooney family, to a design by New York architect Benjamin Schlanger, who was well known for his theater designs. Its design features included seats of varying width, as well as some seats fitted for the hearing impaired.The floor is sloped, and the seats set at a slant, for more comfortable viewing of an elevated screen. The ventilation system was state of the art, allowing for rapid exchanges of air for climate control. The theater showed movies through the 1950s, and was then adapted for use by the local Masonic lodge, also seeing some use as a live performance venue. In 1993, The Waldo Theater became a non-profit organization and hosted a wide variety of community theatre performances and other events. There was a major renovation that began in 2019, and then re-opened in June of 2021. The theater has a 285 seating capacity.

Walker Memorial Library

The Walker Memorial Library is the public library of Westbrook, Maine, United States. It is located at 800 Main Street, in an architecturally distinguished French Chateauesque building designed by Frederick A. Tompson and built in 1894. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Architecture and history The library is located in downtown Westbrook, between William Clark Drive and Main Street (State Route 258). It is a three-story brick building, built in an elaborate style resembling a French chateau. It has a hip roof whose ridge lines and dormers are adorned with finials. The main entrance, facing north toward Main Street, is recessed behind a round arch set between two round turrets with conical roofs. The exterior is accented by decorative use of yellow brick, and panels of terra cotta. The interior features extensive use of oak beams and filigreed woodwork. Westbrook's first public library began in 1802 as a social lending library, one of the first such institutions in what is now Maine. This organization became dormant in 1866, but was revived in 1883. In 1891 the town was bequested funds for a library building in the will of Joseph Walker, a Westbrook native who made his fortune in the lumber industry. The main building was designed by Portland architect Frederick Tompson, then one of Maine's leading architects. An addition to the 1894 structure was added in 1989 via municipal bond.
