Monumento conmemorativo al Octavo Regimiento de Maine

El Monumento conmemorativo al Octavo Regimiento de Maine es una casa histórica de reuniones fraternales de verano en 13 Eighth Maine Avenue en Peaks Island, un vecindario insular en Portland, en el estado de Maine (Estados Unidos). Construido en 1891 como un lugar de reunión para los veteranos del 8º Regimiento de Infantería de Voluntarios de Maine de la Guerra de Secesión, es un buen ejemplo de la arquitectura de estilo Shingle y una obra importante de la firma de arquitectura local Fasset and Tompson. Fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 2006,​ y actualmente funciona como albergue de verano y museo, con habitaciones alquiladas al público. Descripción e historia El Eighth Maine Memorial está ubicado en la costa sur de Peaks Island, una isla grande en el extremo sureste de Casco Bay, al este del centro de Portland. Es una gran estructura rectangular de dos pisos, con techo a dos aguas cuyos lados están salpicados por grandes frontones cruzados. El techo principal se extiende hasta el primer piso, donde se convierte en el techo de un porche que envuelve toda la estructura. Las paredes están acabadas con una combinación de tablillas, tejas de madera y vinilo y tejas de asfalto. El edificio descansa sobre una base de piedra de campo que se inclina hacia la orilla, dejando al descubierto parte del sótano. En una esquina se levanta una torre octogonal de tres pisos. El interior del edificio se organiza con espacios públicos en la planta baja, cocina y servicios en el sótano y viviendas en el segundo piso.​ El monumento fue erigido en 1891 para uso de la Asociación del 8º Regimiento de Maine, una fraternidad de veteranos de la Guerra de Secesión que habían servido en el 8º Regimiento de Infantería de Voluntarios de Maine. Su construcción fue financiada en gran parte por el coronel William M. McArthur, quien ganó 70 000 dólares en una lotería organizada por el general confederado P. G. T. Beauregard para recaudar fondos para la reconstrucción de Luisiana tras la guerra. El edificio fue diseñado por Fasset and Tompson de Portland, un estudio de arquitectura que también había diseñado el cercano Salón del Quinto Regimiento de Maine. El salón se utilizó para reuniones anuales hasta 1936, el último año al que asistió uno de los veteranos originales. El edificio es aún propiedad de la asociación y lo siguen utilizando los descendientes de los miembros del Octavo Regimiento.​ Referencias Enlaces externos The 8th Maine Lodge web site
St. Andre's Parish

St. Andre's Parish is a former parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, located on Bacon and Sullivan Streets in Biddeford, Maine, USA. The parish was founded in 1860 to serve the city's large French-Canadian and French-American communities. On July 1, 2008, St. Andres was merged into the newly formed Good Shepherd Parish. The parish complex of four buildings, including the church, rectory, convent and school, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015, at which time most of it stood vacant. Description and history The buildings of St. Andre's are located near the junction of Bacon and Sullivan Streets, south of Biddeford's central business district. The parish property extends along most of a city block bounded by Bacon, Sullivan, and High Streets, ending short of properties that front on Water Street. The church, a Romanesque Revival brick structure completed in 1910 to a design by the Boston firm of Chickering & O'Connell, stands at the corner of Bacon and High, with the rectory to its left, at the corner of Bacon and Sullivan. The rectory is a fine example of Second Empire architecture, although it is an extremely late example of this style, having been built in 1900. Arrayed on Sullivan Street behind the rectory are the Colonial Revival convent (built 1916 and enlarged in 1930), and the former school (built in the 1920s), with a large parking area occupying much of the remainder of the property. St. Andre's was founded as Biddeford's third Catholic church, after St. Mary's and St. Joseph's. St. Mary's was founded in 1855 to support a large immigrant Irish community and St. Joseph's was established in 1860 to support the growing French-Canadian immigrant population. The latter population continued to grow and, by the 1890s, had outgrown its facilities. St. Andre's was founded in 1899 and was located in the heart of what was then a French Canadian neighborhood, with Rev. Louis Bergeron as its priest. The basement of the church was built in 1900 and services were held there until the church building was completed in 1910. The school operated until the early 1990s, and was converted into housing in 1998. The church continued to serve the Good Shepherd Parish community until it was formally closed with a final mass on New Year's Eve, 2010.

Seashore Trolley Museum

Seashore Trolley Museum är ett amerikanskt spårvägsmuseum i Kennebunkport i York County i Maine i USA. Det är USA:s äldsta museum för lokal kollektivtransport. Tonvikten ligger på en spårvagnssamling, men det finns också lokaltåg, trådbussar och andra bussar. Seashore Trolley Museum ägs och drivs av New England Electric Railway Historical Society. En samling spårvägsvänner hyrde en tomt vid Log Cabin Road mellan Kennebunkport och Biddeford, intill banvallen för Atlantic Shore Line Railways linje Kennebunk-Biddeford, dit den första inköpta spårvagnen flyttades 1939. Gruppen slog sig samman med en annan samling spårvägsvänner, som köpt en spårvagn från Manchester and Nashua Street Railway. De bildade 1941 New England Electric Railway Historical Society. Efter andra världskriget tog övergången från spårvagnar till bussar, vilket ledde till en snabb utökning av föreningens fordonssamling. Sommaren 1956 kunde förening börja trafik på helger på en 400 meter lång sträcka. Numera har museet möjligheter att trafikera en drygt två kilometer lång rutt längs Atlantic Shore Line Railways tidigare banvall som gick från Kennebunkport till York Beach. Museet har numera en samling på fler än 260 fordon. Tio av fordonen togs september 1980 in i USA:s "National Register of Historic Places".

Crystal Spring Farm

Crystal Spring Farm is a historic farm property at 277 Pleasant Hill Road in Brunswick, Maine. The 160-acre (65 ha) property has an agricultural history dating to the early 19th century, although most of its buildings are now of mid-20th century origin. The property is now owned by the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust (BTLT), and is operated as a community farm. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Description and history Crystal Spring Farm is located in a rural area of southwestern Brunswick, its building complex set southeast of the junction of Pleasant Hill and Woodside Roads. The associated farmland consists of two large parcels south of Pleasant Hill Road and on either side of Woodside. The land is predominantly open fields, with some woodlots. The farm complex includes ten buildings, organized roughly in a U shape, with the main house at the eastern end. The house is a 19th-century agglomeration of several residential structures that have been stitched together. To its northwest stands an early 20th-century slaughterhouse. The remaining buildings all date to a building program prompted by a fire in 1946 that destroyed the rest of the original complex. These buildings include concrete barns for housing dairy cattle and processing their milk, a Quonset hut for the storage of hay, equipment sheds and workshops, and a silo. The area is first documented to have been farmed by the Woodside family, which worked land that included this farm's property for about 120 years beginning in 1783. New owners converted it to principally dairy farming in the early 20th century, and in 1941 it was purchased by Maurice Dionne, whose brother Bert, a veterinarian, took over its operation. He greatly expanded its capacity and production, set back by the 1946 fire. It is possible that the Quonset structures now in use were surplus military materials from the nearby Brunswick Naval Air Station. Its business in decline, the Dionnes sold to the Oakhurst Dairy, a major regional dairy processor. In 1970 the farm's activity was shifted to beef production. In 1997 the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust (BTLT) purchased 160 acres (since expanded to more than 300), with the aim of preserving the farm as open space and a working agricultural area. It is now used for community-supported agriculture, and the property has walking trails open to the public. In 2024, BTLT purchased 25 acres (10 ha) of adjoining land at 262 Pleasant Hill Road that was formerly part of the farm. The seller was an anonymous individual who purchased the land in late 2023. They sold it to the land trust via a two-year private loan. The acquired land, on the northern side of Pleasant Hill Road, includes a historic barn and a clock tower which contains the original clock from Brunswick Town Hall prior to its demolition in the 1960s.

Butterfield-Sampson House

The Butterfield-Sampson House is a historic house at 18 River Road in Bowdoinham, Maine. It is an unusual combination of an early 19th-century Federal period house, to which a Stick style house was added about 1890. The latter portion is a rare example in the state of a mail-order design from Palliser & Palliser. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Description and history The Butterfield-Sampson House stands in the village center of Bowdoinham, on the west side of River Road (Maine State Route 24), just north of Railroad Avenue. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a cross-gabled roof covering the main block and a gabled roof covering the older rear ell. The exterior is clad in a combination of wooden clapboards and scallop-cut wooden shingles, and it is set on a brick foundation. A single-story porch extends across the front facade, with slender columns and a spindled frieze beneath a shed roof. The front-facing gable has a deep eave decorated with Stick style applied woodwork and large brackets. The rear ell of the house is its original portion. It is a 2+1⁄2-story five-bay wood-frame structure, one room deep, oriented facing north (the current main block faces east). Its construction date is uncertain, but based on architectural evidence was probably built in the 1810s. In the 1840s that house was purchased by the railroad which runs just out of the property, and was sold 1861 to Robert Butterfield, the local postmaster, and in 1888 to Harriet Sampson. The Stick style main block was probably built soon after that sale, moving the old house further back on the property. It matches fairly closely Plate VII of Palliser's Model Homes, published in 1878 by the Palliser & Palliser Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Stick style architecture is generally uncommon in Maine, and the number of documented houses built to mail-order plans are also relatively few.

Washington County Courthouse (Maine)

The Washington County Courthouse is located at 85 Court Street in Machias, the county seat of Washington County, Maine. Now home to the Machias District Court and other county offices, it is an 1853 Italianate brick building designed by Benjamin S. Deane and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Description and history The Washington County Courthouse is located at the corner of Cooper and Court Streets in the center of Machias, between the Washington County Jail (to which it is now attached by a modern ell) and the local post office. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, with a gabled roof and granite foundation. The roof is topped by a square tower whose second stage is an open belfry with round-arch openings and pilastered corners, with a bracketed cornice above. The front-facing gable is fully pedimented, with modillioned and dentillated eaves and cornice, and a round window at the center of the triangular pediment. First floor windows are set in segmented-arch openings that are surrounded by recessed panels. Second floor windows on the front and the first bay on the side are tall segmented-arch sash windows, that extend into the brickwork of the cornice, while other windows on the sides are shorter round-arch sash. The first and second floors are separated by a granite stringcourse, and the second-floor bays are articulated by brick pilasters. The courthouse was built in 1853 to a design by Bangor architect Benjamin S. Deane, an apparently self-trained architect originally from Thomaston. Deane is one of the first professional architects known to be working in Down East Maine, and is also credited with the Waldo County courthouse, a similar transitional Greek Revival-Italianate design.

United States Marine Hospital (Portland, Maine)

The Marine Hospital is a historic medical facility at 331 Veranda Road in Martin's Point in Portland, Maine. Built in the late 1850s to a design by Ammi B. Young, it is the only known surviving Marine Hospital of the period to retain original iron railings. The building is now part of the Portland campus of the Martin's Point Health Care medical practice. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The former Marine Hospital building occupies a prominent hilltop on Martin's Point, a peninsular projection in eastern Portland that marks the southern side of the mouth of the Presumpscot River at Casco Bay. The larger and lower modern Martin's Point Health Care building stands to the southeast, with the main entrance rotary to the building's northeast. The Marine Hospital is a three-story structure, built with load-bearing brick walls and granite trim. It has a roughly H-shaped plan, with granite quoining at the corners, and a multi-stage projecting cornice that includes a band of bracketing. Windows are typically sash, set in rectangular openings with granite lintels and sills. The southwest facade is nine bays wide, with the central five bays taken up by a stack of balconies, which have cast iron railings that are original to the building's construction. The porches are topped by a projecting roof section that continues the elaborate cornice. The hospital was built in 1855-59 by the federal government, as part of the Marine Hospital Service, which provided medical care to sick and disabled seamen. The building was designed by Ammi B. Young, then the supervising architect of the United States Treasury Department. Young was responsible for designing a significant number of federal buildings in this role, including several marine hospitals; this building is the only one of those buildings to survive with its ironwork (one of Young's signature features) relatively intact. The Marine Hospital Service was created by Congress in 1798, and there was an active service in Portland, Maine's largest port, by 1805. This hospital was built on the site of the Veranda Hotel, which burned in 1847. It served as a hospital until 1952, and in 1956 it became a Marine Corps Reserve Training Center. Before becoming part of Martin's Point Health Care, it was also used as an outpatient clinic of the United States Public Health Service.

Washington County Jail (Maine)

The Washington County Jail is located at 83 Court Street in Machias, the county seat of Washington County, Maine. The jail was built in 1858 to a design by Gridley James Fox Bryant, and is one of the county's architecturally significant Italianate buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Description and history The Washington County Jail is located in the center of Machias, on the north side of Court Street, midway between Center and Cooper Streets. It shares the block with the Washington County Courthouse, to which it is connected by a modern ell at the rear. The jail is a three-story brick building with a hip roof and a granite foundation. A gabled entrance pavilion projects slightly from the south-facing front, and there is a cupola at the center of the original building, which has been greatly enlarged by a modern addition to the rear. The main entrance is on the second floor, which is separated from the first by a granite string course. Windows and doors on the upper floors are set in recessed panels, rounded on the third floor and arched on the second. The rounded-arch paneling is continued in a sympathetic way in the modern addition. The jail was built in 1858 to a design by Boston architect Gridley James Fox Bryant, who designed a significant number of public facilities in eastern Maine in the 1850s, including the similar Kennebec County Jail. At that time, his design embodied the latest thinking in jail facilities, with the jailor's living quarters in the front portion of the building, and cell blocks to the rear, surrounded by guard galleries. Innovations in the building included state-of-the-art ventilation and communications systems, and self-locking doors. Much of the building's original interior has been altered, owing to intervening changings in incarceration practice and theory.

Lord Mansion

The Lord Mansion is a historic house at 20 Summer Street (Maine State Route 35) in Kennebunk, Maine. The multi-part house includes a 1760 Georgian house as an ell to its main element, an 1801 Federal period structure. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for its architectural significance; it is also a contributing element to the Kennebunk Historic District. Description and history The Lord Mansion is located on the north side of Summer Street, opposite its junction with Park Street. The house consists of multiple sections, roughly oriented from west to east, set back from the road on landscaped grounds above a retaining wall. The main house is a roughly square two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, and flushboard on the main (west-facing) facade and clapboards elsewhere. The front facade is adorned with pilasters at the corners and on both sides of the entrance, where they rise all the way to the roof line. The entrance is framed by sidelight windows, with a fanlight window above. A three-part window is on the second level above the entrance, and there is a gabled dormer-like section on the roofline, which has a decorative carved fan. The roof is encircled by a low balustrade. Attached to the rear (east) of this block is a 2+1⁄2-story five-bay hip-roof block that is the oldest part of the house. The first portion of the house was built by Jacob Curtis (1701-1776), who owned the land prior to 1763. Jacob Curtis sold the house to Job Lyman, August 9, 1763. Lyman sold the property, with buildings to Ebenezer Rice, October 27, 1765. It was while Rice owned the property that he rented the small house to Jonathan Banks, from York, Maine. However, Banks never owned the property as deeds prove. Nor did he build the building on the land as recent new research show. Rice sold to Jacob Curtis (1727-1786). Curtis died intestate and his estate sold the property with two acres and buildings to local judge Jonas Clark, who in 1801 built what is now the main portion of the house. The house was purchased in 1822 by William Lord, a Kennebunk merchant and shipbuilder. The house is locally distinctive for its combination of well-preserved Federal period elements. The rear ell has been extensively altered. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in York County, Maine References
Mallett Hall (Pownal Center, Maine)

Mallett Hall is the town hall of Pownal, Maine. It is an architecturally distinctive Colonial Revival building, constructed in 1886 in the crossroads village of Pownal Center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 for its architecture. Description and history Mallett Hall is located on the east side of Hallowell Road (Maine State Route 9), just north of its junction with Dyer Road and south of Bradbury Mountain State Park. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gable roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. It has a symmetrical front facade, with a slightly projecting central bay flanked by window bays. The centrally located entrance is a double door flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window and gabled pediment, and there is a tall Palladian window on the second level above. The projection is capped by a pedimented gable (echoing in proportions the main gable, which is also pedimented) with an inset half-round window. The interior's most elaborate feature is a freestanding central staircase, which is flanked by office spaces, and leads to the second-floor auditorium. A smaller meeting space is located behind it on the first floor. The hall was built in 1886, and is one of the small rural community's most architecturally sophisticated buildings; its architect is not known, but may be Portland architect Francis Fassett. In addition to housing town offices and functions, it has also served as a community center, hosting social events. The hall is named for Edmund Mallett, a Freeport businessman who donated $1,200 for its construction, conditioned on public use of the auditorium.
