Saddleback Ledge Light

Saddleback Ledge Light is a lighthouse on Saddleback Ledge, an islet lying between Isle au Haut and Vinalhaven, Maine, in the middle of the southeastern entrance to Penobscot Bay. The station was established and the current structure, designed by Alexander Parris, was built in 1839. One of Maine's oldest lighthouses, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Saddleback Ledge Light Station on March 14, 1988. Description and history Saddleback Ledge is a rocky outcrop located roughly midway between Isle au Haut and Vinalhaven Island on the east side of Penobscot Bay. The lighthouse on it marks the entrance to the bay's main eastern passage. The light station consists of a single structure, a conical tower 36 feet (11 m) in height, built out of cut granite and topped by a ten-sided lantern house surrounded by an iron deck and railing. The interior of the tower has space for the keeper's quarters and supply storage, and has narrow vertical windows on its east and west faces. The light station was authorized in 1839, and the tower was built that year to a design by Alexander Parris. It is one of five lighthouses in the state whose design is attributed to Parris. The station at one point in the 19th-century had a wood-frame addition, which doubled as a boathouse, but that has long since been removed. The lantern house, deck, and railing all date to 1883. The light was the second to be placed on Penobscot Bay. It was automated in 1954. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Knox County, Maine References

Маяк Садлбек-Ледж

Маяк Садлбек-Ледж (англ. Saddleback Ledge Light) — маяк, расположенный на небольшом скалистом острове Садлбек-Ледж между островами Вайналхейвен и Хо, округ Нокс, штат Мэн, США. Построен в 1839 году. Автоматизирован в 1954 году. История Пролив между островами Вайналхейвен и Хо изобилует небольшими скалистыми островками, и в марте 1837 года Конгресс США выделил 5000$ на строительство маяка, чтобы сделать судоходство в этом районе более безопасным. В качестве места для маяка был выбран небольшой скалистый остров Садлбек-Ледж, расположенный в центре пролива. Строительство началось в 1838 году по проекту архитектора Александра Парриса, к концу 1839 года маяк был построен, а в январе 1840 — введён в эксплуатацию. Он представлял собой гранитную коническую башню высотой 12,5 метров, на вершине которой было восьмиугольное помещение маяка, окружённое железной палубой и перилами. Сбоку к башне примыкал деревянный дом смотрителя. Стоимость строительства оказалась втрое больше запланированной (15 000 $), однако, учитывая качество постройки, эта сумма была признана экономически обоснованной. В 1855 году масляные лампы на маяке заменили на линзу Френеля. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1954 году. В 1988 году он был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест.

Saint Saviour's Episcopal Church and Rectory

Saint Saviour's Episcopal Church and Rectory is a historic church complex at 41 Mt. Desert Street in Bar Harbor, Maine. Built over several construction campaigns between 1877 and 1938, it is a fine local example of an American Shingle Style church executed in stone and wood. The complex includes the large cruciform church and a Shingle Style rectory originally built in the 1899 and twice enlarged. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The congregation reported 131 members in 2016 and 97 members in 2020; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $74,200. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 34 persons. Description and history Saint Saviour's is set on the north side of Mt. Desert Street (Maine State Route 3) in the main village of Bar Harbor, a short way west of the village green. It is a large cruciform structure, built of fieldstone and capped at the crossing point by a square wood-frame tower with pyramidal roof. The long axis of the cross runs parallel to the street. To the north several additions, including a choir hall, bell carillon, and cloister area, join the church to the rectory, a large 2+1⁄2-story stone and wood-frame structure to the northwest. The main church building's appearance is a reflection of its history. The oldest portion, which now serves as the transepts of the present structure, was built in 1877–78 to designs by C. C. Haight, and was quickly judged inadequate for the large number of summer worshippers. In 1885-86 Rotch & Tilden designed a major expansion, which created the cruciform shape with an imposing tower. The choir room to the northeast was added in 1889–90, and the cloister and rectory (designs by Westray Ladd of Philadelphia) in 1899. A chapel at the western end (design by Baker and Dallett of Philadelphia) was added in 1901–02. The interior of the church is graced by twelve windows designed by the Tiffany Studio, installed between 1886 and 1907, as well as eighteen other stained glass windows by American, English and European artists. The ten-bell carillon was added in 1938, representing the last major addition to the complex. In 1948, the church was used for the consecration of its rector, Russell Sturgis Hubbard, as bishop.

Sanford High School

Sanford High School is a public, co-educational, high school in Sanford, Maine, United States. History Sanford High began offering secondary-level classes in 1887. It was the first school in Maine to receive both state and New England accreditation, a status it has maintained since. Before 1969, the school accepted tuition students from nearby towns, but space limitations ended that practice. A new facility, which included a vocational wing that evolved into the Sanford Regional Technical Center, opened in 1970 behind Cobb Stadium. The final day of classes in the former facility was on October 2, 2018. The current campus, located at 100 Alumni Boulevard, opened on October 10, 2018. The $103 million complex includes expanded technical programs, modern classrooms, performing arts spaces, and updated athletic facilities, including Alumni Stadium. As of the 2017–18 school year, the school served approximately 1,050 students, with additional enrollment from seven sending schools through the regional technical center. On November 15, 2022, Sanford High School was among several Maine schools targeted by false active shooter reports, leading to a temporary lockdown until authorities secured the building. Athletics and activities Sanford High School competes in the Southwestern Maine Athletics Association (SMAA) within Class A of the Maine Principals' Association. The school mascot was changed from the “Redskins” to the “Spartans” in 2012 following a student vote.

Additional facilities include tennis courts, softball fields, and multiple practice areas. Varsity baseball games are held at Goodall Park.

Sayward-Wheeler House

The Sayward-Wheeler House is an American historic house museum in York Harbor, Maine. It was built about 1718, and overlooks the York River. it was the home of Jonathan Sayward, a local merchant and civic leader, who remodeled and furnished the house in the 1760s according to his own conservative taste., Sayward participated in the 1745 siege of the French fortress at Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, served in the Massachusetts legislature, and, despite outspoken Tory views, retained the respect of his neighbors during the American Revolution. After his death, his heirs made few changes to the house. In part, this was due to the depressed economy following Thomas Jefferson's trade embargo of 1807, but the family's reverence for its founding patriarch was an equally important factor in preservation. As early as the 1860s, Sayward's descendants opened the house to visitors to show how their forebears had lived in bygone colonial days. In the early 20th century, the house was refurbished for use as a summer residence, with new wallpaper and white-painted woodwork, but the original furnishings and family portraits remained in place. Today, the house is owned and operated as a historic house museum by Historic New England. References External links Historic New England website information "Sayward-Wheeler House Museum".
