Perry's Nut House

Perry's Nut House est une attraction touristique et un magasin sur la U.S. Highway 1 de Belfast, Maine, États-Unis. Ouvert en 1927, Perry's Nut House est un exemple classique d'attraction américaine en bordure de route (Roadside attraction). Situé sur la route côtière menant à Bar Harbor, le Perry's Nut House abrite de gigantesques sculptures d'animaux peints à l'extérieur et, jusqu'en 1997, à l'intérieur, une exposition de noix et graines exotiques du monde entier et d'animaux en peluche. Perry fabrique et vend également du fudge et des friandises traditionnelles faites maison, ainsi que des souvenirs inspirés du Maine , des jouets rétro et en bois ainsi que des cadeaux fantaisies. En 1997, les troisièmes propriétaires (Diane et John Bailey) ont vendu la plupart des animaux de taxidermie originaux et ont exposé les objets dans une vente aux enchères organisée dans le magasin. À partir de 2009, cependant, les propriétaires actuels de Perry's Nut House travaillent dur pour restaurer l'ambiance de l'ancien Perry. Plusieurs objets originaux ont été acquis et réapparaissent dans le magasin, dont un gorille (Ape-Raham, restauré de janvier à mai 2012), une peau de python de 21 pieds, un très gros albatros en peluche, un alligator de 13 pieds, un couguar et un babouin. De petits ornements faits à la main d'éléphants sont vendus dans le but d'obtenir des fonds pour acheter spécifiquement un éléphant grandeur nature pour orner la pelouse. Le vieil éléphant réside maintenant au sommet du Théâtre Colonial au centre-ville de Belfast. Au début des années 1950, Perry's Nut House utilisait un jingle radio accrocheur:"Pack up the kids. Jump in the car. Drive to Perry's Nut House, and there you are. Right on the coast, route number 1. Belfast, Maine, Oh golly what fun." Notes Liens externes Perry's Nut House Perry's Nut House.

Perry's Nut House

A Perry's Nut House é uma parada turística americana e loja na U.S. Route 1 em Belfast, Maine. Inaugurada em 1927, a Perry's Nut House é um exemplo clássico de uma atração de beira de estrada nos Estados Unidos. Localizada na estrada costeira para Bar Harbor, a Perry's Nut House apresenta muitas esculturas de animais grandes pintadas do lado de fora do prédio. E, até 1997, dentro do prédio havia uma exposição de animais empalhados, nozes exóticas e sementes de todo o mundo. A Perry's também produz e vende fudge e doces caseiros tradicionais, além de souvenirs com o tema do Maine, brinquedos retrô e de madeira e brindes. Em 1997, os terceiros proprietários (Diane e John Bailey) venderam a maioria dos animais taxidermizados originais e itens de exibição em um leilão realizado na loja. A partir de 2009, no entanto, os atuais proprietários da Perry's Nut House estão trabalhando arduamente para restaurar a sensação da antiga Perry's. Vários itens originais foram adquiridos e reapareceram na loja, incluindo um gorila (Ape-Raham, restaurado de janeiro a maio de 2012), uma pele de píton de 6,5 metros, um albatroz de pelúcia muito grande, um jacaré de 4 metros, um puma e um babuíno. Pequenos enfeites de elefante feitos à mão estão sendo vendidos para arrecadar fundos para a compra de um elefante em tamanho real para enfeitar o gramado. O antigo elefante agora está no topo do Colonial Theatre, no centro da cidade de Belfast. No início da década de 1950, a Perry's Nut House usava um jingle de rádio cativante: "Pack up the kids. Jump in the car. Drive to Perry's Nut House, and there you are. Right on the coast, route number 1. Belfast, Maine, Oh golly what fun (Arrume as crianças. Entre no carro. Dirija até a Perry's Nut House, e lá está você. Bem no litoral, rota número 1. Belfast, Maine, Oh, meu Deus, que diversão)".

Pilsbury Block

The Pilsbury Block is an historic commercial building at 200-210 Lisbon Street in Lewiston, Maine. The block was built in 1870, and is a late example of Italianate architecture, exhibiting some Romanesque details. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The Pilsbury Block is located on Lisbon Street, Lewiston's principal commercial thoroughfare, at the northeast corner with Pine Street. It is a three-story masonry structure with a narrow rounded bay at the street corner. The upper floors are divided into large bays, five facing Pine Street and six facing Lisbon, each set in a recessed arched panel. There are paired windows in each panel, set in round-arch openings on the third floor and segmented-arch openings on the second. The ground floor storefronts are set in groups of segmented-arch or flat-topped segments of stone, with either display windows or entrances topped by transom windows. The building is capped by a corbelled brickwork cornice. The oldest portion of the building, the corner section, was built in 1870 for George H. Pilsbury by Jesse T. Stevens, a local engineer. The architect may have been William H. Stevens, who was closely associated with Pilsbury in the Franklin Company and the Lewiston Institution for Savings (later the Peoples' Savings Bank). In 1873 it was enlarged by the addition of three bays on Lisbon Street. The addition is known to have been designed by Stevens, now practicing as Fassett & Stevens. The building is one of Lewiston's oldest surviving commercial buildings, and a rare example of transitional Italianate-Romanesque architecture. The Pilsbury Block is now part of Lewiston Public Library. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Androscoggin County, Maine References

Popham Beach

Popham Beach is a sandy beach in Maine that extends southwest about three miles from Fort Popham, at the mouth of the Kennebec River, toward the mouth of the Morse River. It is near the site of the short-lived Popham Colony, founded in 1607 and abandoned the following year. The beach and the surrounding area are considered part of the town of Phippsburg in Sagadahoc County. At the southwestern end of the beach, access is granted via the popular Popham Beach State Park, administered by Maine Bureau of Parks & Lands. The northeastern end of the beach is accessed via paths around historic Fort Popham, a handful of private parking lots and pathways, as well as the Ocean View Campground situated near the boundary of the state park. Popular recreational activities at Popham Beach include walking, beachcombing, sunbathing, sightseeing, kite flying, swimming, and fishing for species such as striped bass and bluefish. Casual hikers also enjoy exploring the remnants of Fort Baldwin on the opposite side of the cove from Fort Popham. The state park is patrolled by lifeguards during the warmer months, with no lifeguards on duty at any time beyond the state park boundary. At low tide, sandbars are exposed that provide brief access to Wood Island and Fox Island. The Pond Island and Seguin Island lighthouses are easily visible from the shores of Popham Beach, and their distinct foghorns are audible for miles around. Pets are allowed on parts of Popham Beach all year round, but there are special rules that apply to pets for parts of the beach in the state park. It is a rule in the state park that you must pick up any waste that your pet may leave behind. Popham Beach State Park is a popular day trip destination for area residents, while the cottages (and their access roads) at the northeastern end of the beach are privately owned. There are many cottages available for seasonal rental, as well as a seasonal motel and a bed and breakfast, the latter of which is housed in an old Coast Guard Station. In recent years, increased erosion has threatened the southwestern end of the beach, with massive dune loss at the state park and the area bordering the park, which is home to numerous rental cottages and seasonal residences, along with the Ocean View Campground. Part of the 1999 film Message in a Bottle was filmed at the beach. Author Douglas Kennedy describes Popham Beach in several of his novels like "Pursuit of Happiness".

Portland Breakwater Light

The Portland Breakwater Light (also called Bug Light) is a small lighthouse in South Portland, Maine, United States. History A lighthouse was first built here in 1855 as a wooden structure. The breakwater was extended and a new lighthouse was constructed at the end of it in 1875. The new lighthouse was made of curved cast-iron plates whose seams are disguised by six decorative Corinthian columns. Its design was inspired by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, made well-known by engravings. The architect was Thomas U. Walter, most noted as the designer of the U.S. Capitol east and west wings and its current dome. Wooden sheds and a six-room house for the lighthouse-keeper were added incrementally as needed. In 1897, Spring Point Ledge Light was erected and the houses around Bug Light were demolished and the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse keepers tended to both lighthouses. During World War II, the breakwater was slowly absorbed by landfill as the New England Shipbuilding Corporation built two shipyards next to the lighthouse. These shipyards produced Liberty Ships for the war effort. Because of the smaller breakwater, there was less need for the lighthouse and it was decommissioned in 1943. Restoration The light was fully restored in 1989 and was reactivated in 2002. It appears as a private aid to navigation in the US Coast Guard Light List as South Portland Breakwater Light. A park named after the lighthouse, Bug Light Park, allows visitors to view the Portland Breakwater Light up close, while memorializing the shipbuilding efforts of World War II. The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Portland Breakwater Light on June 19, 1973, reference number 73000238.

Маяк Портленд-Брейкуотер

Маяк Портленд-Брейкуотер (англ. Portland Breakwater Light) также известный как Маяк Баг (англ. Bug Light) — маяк, расположенный на моле на входе в гавань города Портленд, округ Камберленд, штат Мэн, США. Административно принадлежит городу Саут-Портленд. Построен в 1855 году. Автоматизирован в 1934 году. История После обретения США независимости, Портленд стал важным торговым портом, оборот которого с каждым годом увеличивался. Путь в гавань города Портленд обеспечивал Маяк Портленд-Хэд, но его было недостаточно. К тому же, гавани города требовалась защита от штормов. Летом 1836 года Конгресс США выделил 10 000 $ на строительство мола на входе в гавань Портленда. В 1837 году Конгресс США выделил ещё 25 000 $, а в 1838 — ещё 26 366 $. Сооружение мола вышло существенно дороже, чем предполагалось изначально. Потому средства на строительство маяка Конгресс США выделил только в 1853 году в размере 3500$. В 1855 году строительство было завершено. Маяк представлял собой деревянное восьмиугольное здание высотой примерно 7,5 метров, на вершине которого располагались линзы Френеля. Дом смотрителя располагался на берегу. Однако в 1866 году было решено дополнительно укрепить и расширить волнорез, и Конгресс США выделил на эти цели 105 000 $. Дом смотрителя маяка заменили в 1871 году, а маяк был снесен. В 1873 году завершили работы на моле. В 1874 году Конгресс США выделил 6000$ на строительство маяка на моле взамен снесенного. Новый маяк представлял собой цилиндрическую чугунную башню высотой 7,5 метров, украшенную коринфскими колоннами в качестве декоративных элементов, на вершине которой располагалась линза Френеля. В 1897 году был построен маяк Спринг-Пойнт, и дом смотрителя маяка Баг был снесен, так как смотритель маяка Спринг-Пойнт теперь обслуживал оба маяка. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1934 году. Но уже в июне 1942 года маяк был выведен из эксплуатации. В 1973 году он был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. В 2002 году маяк был восстановлен и снова введен в эксплуатацию. В настоящее время находится на территории городского парка. Фотографии Примечания

It was designed by New York City firm Carrère & Hastings, with local assistance provided by John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens. Inspired by New York City Hall, John M. Carrère considered it one of his finest works. It was built between 1909 and 1912 to replace the previous city hall, designed by Francis H. Fassett and built in 1867 but which burned in 1908. The city hall built in 1867 replaced the previous city hall, built in 1862 (designed by James H. Rand) and burned in the Great Fire of 1866. Portland's 1825 Market House, in what was then Market Square, was remodeled in 1833 to serve as Portland's first city hall. It was used again between 1866 and 1868, after the fire. It was demolished in 1888. Brass plaques, mounted on the pillars at the base of the steps to the building, commemorate soldiers who fought in the Spanish-American War through Vietnam. Iterations There have been four versions of Portland's city hall between 1833 and the present day: 1833 city hall, Market Square (a modified version of the 1825 Market House; demolished in 1888) 1862 city hall, Congress Street (destroyed by fire in 1866) 1868 city hall, Congress Street (destroyed by fire in 1908) 1909 city hall, Congress Street (today's structure) Gallery See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Portland, Maine References External links "Portland City Hall".
