St. Paul's Church and Rectory

St. Paul's Church and Rectory is an historic Episcopal church, now affiliated with the United Episcopal Church of North America, at 279 Congress Street in Portland, Maine. Built in 1868 for a newly established congregation, it is a fine local example of Gothic Revival architecture, designed by English architect George Browne Pelham. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The present pastor is the Rev. Andrew S. Faust Architecture and history The church stands northeast of central Portland, at the northern corner of Locust Street and Congress Street. The church itself is set back from Congress Street, with the main entrance facing Locust, and the wood frame rectory set closer to Congress Street. The church is a rectangular stone structure, one story in height, with a steeply pitched gabled slate roof. Its sides and corners are buttressed, with narrow Gothic lancet-arch windows in between, and a rose window in the gable facing Congress Street. The back gable wall is finished in wooden clapboards, with a large three-sided stained glass window in the gable. The entrance is set in a large Gothic opening in a gabled projection. The first Episcopal congregation in Portland was known as St. Paul's, but it was reorganized in 1839 and renamed St. Stephen's. The congregation for this church was organized in 1868, and the present church and rectory were completed the following year. They are both the design of English architect George Browne Pelham, who lived in Portland from 1868 to 1871, before moving to New York City.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Brunswick, Maine)

St. Paul's Episcopal Church is a historic church at 27 Pleasant Street in Brunswick, Maine. Built in 1845, it is a distinctive early example of a modest Carpenter Gothic design by Richard Upjohn, then already well known for his larger-scale Gothic churches. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The rector is the Rev. Dr. Matthew R. Scott. The church reported 653 members in 2015 and 611 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $464,791. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 116 persons. Architecture St. Paul's is located two blocks west of Brunswick's Maine Street downtown area, at the southeast corner of Pleasant and Union Streets. The church is a modest cruciform structure, built out of wood and finished in vertical board-and-batten siding. It is covered by a gabled roof, and diverges from standard plans published by Upjohn in that it has no tower, and that it has transepts, which were not present in plans found in his 1852 Upjohn's Rural Architecture guide. It has lancet-arched Gothic windows on the sides, and the entrance, at the west end, is set in a lancet-arched opening sheltered by a bracketed hood. Each of the gable ends has a small oculus window in the gable. The Brunswick Episcopal congregation was organized in 1844, and was the third established in the state of Maine. This church, built in 1845, was designed by Richard Upjohn, who had already achieved national notice through the construction of Trinity Church in Manhattan (1841, now a National Historic Landmark), and St. John's Episcopal Church in Bangor (1839, burned 1911). Upjohn's fame brought much business, including for smaller and less well-to-do parishes, leading to his publication in 1852 of Upjohn's Rural Architecture. This church is a clear precursor of the designs published there, which were later widely used.

Swedish Lutheran Church (Monson, Maine)

The Swedish Lutheran Church (also known as the Old Church Hostel) is a historic former Swedish Lutheran church building on Wilkins and Hebron Streets in Monson, Maine. The church was established by Swedish immigrants to Maine and built by them in 1890. It is architecturally distinctive as an uncommon example of Swedish-influenced religious architecture in Maine, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The building is now a study center of the Areopagus II America Institute (AIIA), a Christian religious apologetics organization. Description and history The church building is located at the western corner of Hebron and Wilkins Streets, two quiet side streets in the center of Monson, Maine. The building faces northeast, and is a single-story wood frame structure with clapboard siding, gable roof, and Gothic styling. A vestibule with a lower gable roof projects from the main building, and is topped by a two-stage square tower. The entrance is flanked by lancet-arched windows, with a small bullseye design in the gable. The first stage of the tower is paneled, and the second, housing the belfry, has paired pointed-arch louvered openings on each side. The tower is capped by an octagonal steeple. The building's side windows are lancet-arched, and are capped by small gables. The Monson area received an influx of immigrants in the mid-1870s, drawn to work in the nearby slate quarries. Most of these were Swedish, and they built this church in 1890 to serve their population, which was a diverse mix of Christian denominations. After the Methodists split in 1892, the church was exclusively used by Swedish Lutheran congregants. The building was used as the local American Legion chapter between 1946 and 1970, and was afterward operated for a time as a hostel serving hikers on the Appalachian Trail. The building now houses the study center of the Areopagus II America Institute (AIIA), a Christian apologetics organization founded in 1991.

Telstar High School

Telstar High School (Telstar or THS) is a high school located in Bethel, Maine, in the United States as part of Maine School Administrative District 44. History The school was founded in 1968 and named after Telstar — the satellite's Andover Earth Station is in the school district, in Andover. In 1968, a controversy brewed up when a local Baptist minister attempted to get the school to not use the novels Demian by Hermann Hesse, The Emperor of Ice-Cream by Brian More, and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes in an English class. Notable alumni Simon Dumont - Professional Skier Lisa Piccirillo - Mathematician known for determining that the Conway knot is not a slice knot Anna Willard - Professional Runner Budget issues District property valuations also caused issues within the district itself. With several million dollar homes in the vicinity of Sunday River Ski Resort, the tax base of the area keeps rising. Increasing valuations have led to a dramatic decrease in state aid, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the 2009-2010 district budget. While property valuations have increased, many middle income jobs have been lost due to economic conditions and the poor business climate for the area's paper industry. Sunday River itself, able to weather just about any economic crisis, shed 32 full-time positions in 2009. The loss of jobs in the area have brought about a steady decrease in the school population as families move away seeking employment. In the summer of 2009, district officials invited taxpayers to share their views on a possible $5-million-dollar addition to the school, which would cost taxpayers roughly $300,000 per year over the next 15 years. At this meeting, held at the end of July, voters shared their perspectives. Following the meeting, the SAD 44 School Board met and decided to put the proposal out to voters.

Blaine House

The Blaine House, also known as the James G. Blaine House, is the official residence of the governor of Maine and their family. The executive mansion was officially declared the residence of the governor in 1919 with the name "Blaine House". It is located at Capitol and State streets in Augusta, across the street from the Maine State House. Description The Blaine House was donated to the State of Maine for use as a governor's residence by Harriet Blaine Beale in 1919. The house dates back to 1833 and was built by James Hall, a retired ship's captain. James G. Blaine, then the Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, purchased it in 1862 as a present for his wife, the former Harriet Stanwood, daughter of a prominent Augusta family. Blaine substantially enlarged the building, constructing an addition at the rear that was a near replica of the original structure, and removing interior walls to create a large entertainment space. During World War I the house was used by Maine's Committee for Public Safety. It was presented to the State by Blaine's youngest daughter, Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale, and established by the 1919 Legislature as the official residence of the governor of Maine. It was remodeled, to designs by the noted Maine architect John Calvin Stevens, prior to the first governor taking residence in 1921. Carl E. Miliken was the first governor to occupy the residence. The Blaine House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964, for its association with Blaine, an influential political and diplomatic figure on the national stage in the decades following the Civil War. In June 2014, a system of high efficiency heat pumps was installed in the Blaine House in an effort to reduce the heating bill, after a test of one over the winter in the governor's sleeping quarters. With heating oil, the Blaine House used 5,074 gallons of oil at a cost of $16,775 in 2013. The oil boiler is also going to be converted to natural gas in a further effort to reduce costs, though that system will only be needed on the coldest days. The total cost of the upgrades is expected to be $115,000. The current resident is Governor Janet Mills.

The Cuckolds Light

The Cuckolds Light, known as the Cuckolds Island Fog Signal and Light Station or just Cuckolds Light Station, is a lighthouse located on the eastern pair of islets known as the "Cuckolds" in Lincoln County, Maine, United States. The islets are southeast and in sight of Cape Island, that is just off the southern tip of Cape Newagen on Southport Island, south of Booth Bay, that leads to Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The fog station was first established as a daymark on November 16, 1892, for marking the islets and Collector ledge replacing a 57-foot-tall wooden tripod. In 1893, a bell was installed and a light was added in 1907. The keeper's house was demolished following the 1974 decommission, but was rebuilt from 2010 to 2014, along with the wharf, and the lighthouse restored. The Cuckolds Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Cuckolds Light Station on December 2, 2002. History The United States Congress appropriated funding through the Lighthouse commission and authorized the building of the lighthouse August 30, 1890, but the $25,000 funding was not provided until March 3, 1891. The station commenced operation in 1892 with duplicated four horsepower coal-fired engines, compressors, and tanks, along with hot air first-order Daboll trumpets. Material for construction included 105 yards of granite, 60,000 bricks, 430 casks of cement, 100 tons of sand, 200 tons of broken stone and pebbles, 70,000 feet of lumber, and included 3,400 pounds of wrought-iron work. The granite was used for the foundation and the lighthouse was attached to this for stability. A radio transmitter was installed in 1956. Light In 1907, a Fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed. The early coal-fired system used approximately seven tons of coal to run approximately 1000 hours and when converted to oil, ran 423 hours on 195 gallons of oil. The original 24,000 candlepower, provided by an incandescent oil vapor lamp, was increased to 30,000 candlepower powered by an electric lamp and the fourth-order lens, and by 1971 to 500,000 candlepower. Deactivation and transfer The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1974 and listed as United States Coast Guard surplus property. The non-profit Cuckolds Island Fog Signal and Light Station Council was formed and submitted a 542-page proposal that was accepted and the deed transferred on May 8, 2006. Current In June 2014 the Inn at Cuckolds Lighthouse opened, being rebuilt as well as the lighthouse restored, and was advertised as a luxurious retreat providing "pampered luxury" for upward of $3000 a weekend. Transportation to the island would be provided in a restored United States Navy whaleboat. The Inn ceased operations in July 2019. The Fresnel lens, removed when the light was decommissioned, is housed at the Maine Lighthouse Museum in Rockland. The lighthouse is currently equipped with a VRB-25 and remains an active aid to navigation, maintained by the Coast Guard.

Маяк Каколдс

Маяк Каколдс (англ. The Cuckolds Light) — маяк, расположенный на восточном из пары небольших островов, называемых Каколдс (англ. Cuckolds — Рогоносцы) в границах города Бутбей-Харбор, округ Линкольн, штат Мэн, США. Построен в 1879 году. Автоматизирован в 1974 году. История Два небольших острова на входе в гавань города Бутбей-Харбор создавали опасность для навигации, и 30 августа 1890 года было принято решение о строительстве маяка на одном из них. 3 марта 1891 года на эти цели Конгрессом США было выделено 25 000$, и работы по созданию его начались в январе 1892 года. Поскольку остров был небольшим, во время шторма волны представляли угрозу любым строениям, находящимся на нем. Поэтому здание маяка было построено на высоком (3,6 метра) прочном полукруглом фундаменте из гранита. Жилище смотрителя, расположенное на нем, было круглой деревянной постройкой, на крыше которой располагалась восьмиугольная башня с маяком. Фундамент также защищал некоторые хозяйственные постройки, также выполненные из дерева. В 1907 году на маяк были установлена линза Френеля. Он был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1974 году. Оригинальная линза Френеля, использовавшаяся в маяке, хранятся в Музее маяков штата Мэн в Рокленде. В 2002 году маяк был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Превращение в гостиницу Оставшись без смотрителя, маяк стал страдать от вандалов. Это привело к длительной дискуссии о его дальнейшей судьбе. В итоге 8 мая 2006 года Береговая охрана США согласилась передать права на здания на острове штату в рамках программы «Маяки штата Мэн». После реставрации в июне 2014 года в здании маяка открылась гостиница Inn at Cuckolds Lighthouse. Сам маяк при этом продолжает функционировать. Примечания
