Маяк Эгг-Рок

Маяк Эгг-Рок (англ. Egg Rock Light) — маяк, расположенный на небольшом острове Эгг-Рок на входе в залив Француза, округ Хэнкок, штат Мэн, США. Построен в 1875 году. Автоматизирован в 1976 году. История 23 июля 1874 года Конгресс США выделил 15 000$ на строительство маяка на небольшом острове Эгг-Рок «из-за увеличения сезонного трафика в регионе». Трудности с получением прав на остров задержали строительство до июня 1875 года. 1 ноября 1875 года маяк был открыт. У него была очень необычная архитектура: он представляет собой квадратный дом смотрителя, в центре которого находится квадратная кирпичная башня, высотой 12 метров, на вершине которой находились линзы Френеля. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1976 году. После автоматизации все вспомогательные постройки на острове были снесены. Береговая охрана также заменила и вершину башни, чтобы установить там современный аэромаяк, но после многочисленных жалоб оригинальная конструкция была возвращена на место в 1986 году. В настоящее время маяк работает на солнечной энергии. Здание является собственностью Береговой охраны США и закрыто для посещения. В 1987 году он был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест.

Ellsworth Congregational Church

The Ellsworth Congregational Church is a historic church at 2 Church Street in Ellsworth, Maine, United States. The congregation was organized in 1812, and is affiliated with the United Church of Christ. Its present Greek Revival building was constructed in 1846, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for its architectural significance. The current pastor is the Reverend Cynthia Priem. Architecture and history The church is sited on a rise on the north side of Ellsworth's central business district, at the corner of Church and State Streets. It is a large wood-frame structure with Greek Revival styling. Its body is 2+1⁄2 stories in height, and is topped at the front by a multi-stage tower: its first stage is square, housing a clock, and is topped by an octagonal belfry with an open balustrade. Above the belfry is a round section supporting an octagonal windows stage, above which the steeple rises to a weathervane. The front of the church has a projecting Greek temple front, with six fluted Doric columns supporting a triangular gabled pediment. The building's corners are pilasters. A wing extends from the rear northeast corner, apparently a replacement for another building that was on the site in an 1881 photo. A modern parish hall is attached to the northwest of the building via a passageway. The Ellsworth congregation was organized in 1812, and its sanctuary was built in 1846 by Thomas Lord, a master builder from Blue Hill. The building is notable for surviving a 1933 fire which devastated much of Ellsworth's business district.

Engine House (Auburn, Maine)

The Engine House is an historic former fire station at Court and Spring Streets in downtown Auburn, Maine, USA. Built in 1879, it is one of the few surviving 19th-century fire stations in the state of Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The former Auburn Engine House is located at the southeast corner of Spring and Court Streets, overlooking the city's central business district. It is a two-story rectangular brick structure, with a truncated hip roof and a granite foundation. A square wood-frame belfry rises from the western end of the flat section at the center of the roof. The north-facing front had four engine bays, the rightmost of which has been converted to a retail entrance; the other three retain their garage bay doors. Between the first and second bays from the left is a pedestrian entrance topped by a panel identifying the building. The second floor is relatively unmodified, with groups of windows (2-3-1-2) set under segmented brick arch panels, with granite sills and lintels. The cornice is lined with wooden brackets. The first station in this area was a private company established in 1849, when it was known as Lewiston Falls and was still part of adjacent Lewiston. In 1859 the Auburn Village Corporation, which operated the fire protection service, purchased this lot and built a wood-frame fire house on it. This corporation was acquired by the city of Auburn in 1867. A new fire house was built on the site in 1870 to accommodate new equipment; it was destroyed by fire (probably started in its stables) in 1878. This fire house was completed the following year. It remained in active service until 1971, and has now been adapted for use as a commercial/retail space.

Etz Chaim Synagogue

Etz Chaim Synagogue (transliterated from Hebrew as "Tree of Life") is a unaffiliated Jewish congregation, synagogue, and Jewish history museum, located at 267 Congress Street, at the head of India Street, in Portland, Maine, United States. The congregation is the only immigrant-era European-style synagogue remaining in Maine. It was founded in 1917 as an English-language Orthodox Sefardi congregation, rather than in the Yiddish-language tradition; and the synagogue was completed in 1921. In c. 2003, the dwindling Orthodox congregation became egalitarian and unaffiliated with any movement. Gary S. Berenson is the congregation's rabbi. Located in the India Street Historic District, the building has also housed the Maine Jewish Museum since 2010. References External links Official website "Etz Chaim" (panoramic still images).

Cobscook Bay State Park

Der Cobscook Bay State Park ist ein State Park im Washington County im US-Bundesstaat Maine. Der 359 Hektar große Park liegt sechs Kilometer südlich von Dennysville auf einer Halbinsel in der Cobscook Bay. Geographie Die Cobscook Bay ist ein ungewöhnliches Mündungsgebiet mit nur einem schmalen Zugang zum offenen Meer, einer langen und gewundenen Küstenlinie sowie relativ wenigen Zuflüssen. Der Tidenhub in der Cobscook Bay beträgt durchschnittlich sieben Meter und kann bis zu 8,5 Metern erreichen, während er sonst an der Küste von Maine durchschnittlich 2,7 Meter beträgt. Das Gebiet des Parks wurde geologisch zuerst 1885 von Nathaniel Shaler erforscht, der erkannte, dass die Landschaft durch drei Naturgewalten geformt wurde: durch die mächtigen Gezeiten, durch vulkanisches Gestein und durch die Vergletscherung während der Eiszeiten. Die im Park vorkommenden Tuff-Brekzien werden geologisch dem Silur zugeordnet und sind somit bis zu 420 Millionen Jahre alt. Die Oberfläche wurde durch die letzten Eiszeiten vor etwa 12 bis 18.000 Jahren geformt. Durch die hohen Gezeiten und die geringe Wasserzirkulation in der Bucht lagert sich Schlick ab, in der Whiting Bay wurden Schlickdicken von bis 28 Metern gemessen. Flora und Fauna Das aus dem Golf von Maine zufließende nahrungsreiche Wasser ist sehr planktonreich, wodurch die Cobscook Bay eine reiche Meeresfauna von Muschen, Krebsen und Schalentieren, Heringen, Meerforellen, Felsenbarschen und atlantischem Lachs besitzt. Weißkopfsee- und Fischadler, Seehunden, Fischotter und gelegentlich sogar Bären dient die Bucht zur Nahrungssuche. Insgesamt kommen im Park über 200 Vogelarten vor. Die Cobscook Bay ist im Frühjahr und im Herbst Park Rastplatz von Tausenden von Zugvögeln, Höhepunkt des Vogelzugs ist Ende August bis Anfang September. In den inneren Buchten überwintern Dunkelenten und Maines größte Population von Weißkopf-Seeadlern. Vom späten Mai bis Juli sind Gnitzen und andere Stechmücken sehr häufig. Geschichte Der Name Cobscook kommt aus der Sprache der Native Americans vom Stamm der Maliseet-Passamaquoddy und bezeichnet „kochende Tide“ wegen des hohen Tidenhubs. Das Parkgebiet gehört zum Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, das 1937 gegründet wurde. 1964 bot die Verwaltung des Schutzgebiets dem Staat Maine die kostenlose und unbefristete Überlassung eines an der Whiting Bay geschaffenen Erholungsgebiets an. Das Parlament von Maine stimmte zu und der Cobscook Bay State Park wurde gegründet. Touristische Anlagen Der Besuch des Parks ist gebührenpflichtig. Der Park verfügt über einen Campingplatz mit 100 Stellplätzen, sanitären Anlagen, einen Picknickbereich und einen Bootssteg. Der Park ist vom 15. Mai bis 15. Oktober geöffnet. Durch den Park führen zwei kurze Spazierwege, die entlang der Küste und zu Aussichtspunkten führen.

Cobscook Bay State Park

Cobscook Bay State Park is a public recreation area occupying 888 acres (359 ha) on the western shore of Cobscook Bay in Washington County, Maine. The park offers a view of dramatically changing tides that on average can rise to 24 feet (7.3 m) high with some reaching as high as 28 feet (8.5 m). The name Cobscook is a Maliseet-Passamaquoddy word for boiling tides. The state park is located on Whiting Bay approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Dennysville and 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Whiting. It is managed by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. History The park was created in 1964 when the Federal government offered to lease to the state of Maine lands that remain part of Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge. The long-term agreement was arranged at no cost to the state. Activities and amenities The park offers hiking trails, picnicking, camping, boat launch, and bird watching. Over 200 species of birds have been noted, including the American bald eagle.

Farwell Mill

The Farwell Mill is an historic former mill complex at 244 Lisbon Street (Maine State Route 196) in Lisbon, Maine. Built in 1872, it is a fine example of a cotton mill built at the height of the Industrial Revolution. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is now residential housing. Description and history The Farwell Mill is located in central Lisbon, at the junction of Village and Lisbon Streets and on the western bank of the Sabattus River. It is a large and sprawling L-shaped brick three-story structure. The building is minimally decorated, with corbelling at the cornice below the gable roof, and a four-story tower at the southwestern end whose top level has paired round-arch Italianate windows and a shallow-pitch hip roof with a broad eave. The complex was originally larger, with four-story additions to the south and west, but these have been demolished. Just north of the main building is a small single-story gas works building, one of the few of its type surviving in the state. The mill was built in 1872 by Nathaniel Farwell, a businessman with textile-related interests all over New England. This was the only full-scale textile operation he owned. It was built using the water privilege of one of Maine's earliest woolen mills, established in 1808, and expanded using a second water privilege just downstream that originally had a grist mill. Farwell's mill was reported to have a capacity of 12,000 spindles, and was an economic mainstay of the otherwise rural region for many years.

Fiddler's Reach Fog Signal

The Fiddler's Reach Fog Signal is a fog signal station located on the Kennebec River in Arrowsic, Maine, in Sagadahoc County. It is about 1,100 feet (340 m) SW of the front light of the Doubling Point Range Lights, and about 2,000 feet (610 m) east of Doubling Point Light. The pyramidal bell structure was built in 1914, two years after a large steamship, the Ransom B. Fuller, ran aground in the fog on this section of the river. History The signal was rung to assist ships navigating the treacherous S-bend section of the river known as Fiddler Reach. It was a bell from 1914 until the late sixties and then a horn until it was discontinued in 1982. The signal, while not part of the Kennebec River Light Station, was tended by its station keeper. He reached it along a footpath that included a boardwalk and two wooden bridges. While it was a bell, it was rung by means of a clockwork counter weight system that had to be rewound every 4 hours. Bell signals were distinguished by the number of strokes and length of time between them. This signal was two strokes every twenty seconds. The structure eventually fell into disrepair. The original bell was removed by the Coast Guard in 1972 and is now displayed on the campus of the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. It was restored by volunteer effort of the "Range Light Keepers", a self-described "group of interested local Maine citizens and visitors". A replacement bell has been obtained and kept at the Arrowsic Town Hall. Until 2016 when the bell was installed on the tower's exterior bell arm The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on August 5, 2009, and the listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list of August 14, 2009.

Former First Baptist Church (Skowhegan, Maine)

The Former First Baptist Church is a historic church building at 37 Main Street in Skowhegan, Maine. Built in 1842-44, this Greek Revival brick building is one of the few works attributable to a local master builder, Joseph Bigelow. It was used as a church until 1919, after which it was used as a community center, and then a VFW hall until 2009. It is (as of 2013) vacant, with plans to establish a performance and meeting venue; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Description and history The former First Baptist Church is set on the west side of Main Street in Skowhegan, just south of its junction with Maine State Route 104, and next to the 1807 Bloomfield Academy building. It is a roughly rectangular brick structure, with a front-facing gable roof and a granite foundation. The main block is augmented by a projecting vestibule in the front, and a vestry addition in the rear. The vestibule is three bays wide, with a pair of double-doors set in lancet-arched openings flanking a central sash window, also set in a lancet-arch opening. The roofline of the vestibule has a shallow pitch, with a central front-facing gable. Behind the vestibule the main facade was originally five bays wide, separated by brick pilasters, of which only the outermost are now fully visible. The main roof gable is fully pedimented, and is finished in flushboarding with a recessed central section that has a quatrefoil window. The congregation for which the church was built was established in 1796, and its first meetinghouse, built in 1812, was destroyed by fire in 1841. The present building was built to replace it; it was designed by Joseph Bigelow and completed in 1844. It is one of a small number of buildings with documentary connection to Bigelow, a locally renowned master builder. Growth of the congregation prompted enlargement of the building in the 1880s, at which time the vestry and vestibule were added. This remodeling campaign probably also included artwork by Portland artist Charles Schumacher, work that was lost due to subsequent alterations. The church was closed in 1919 when the Baptists merged with the local Congregational church. In 1926 the building was adapted for use as a community center, which included construction of a basketball court in its interior. It later housed the headquarters of the local National Guard organization, and served as a meeting space for the local Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter until 2009. After a period of town ownership, it was purchased by a private owner (Todd Smith) with plans to rehabilitate the building as a meeting venue. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Somerset County, Maine References
First Baptist Church (East Lamoine, Maine)

The First Baptist Church is a historic church building at 362 Lamoine Beach Road in East Lamoine, Maine. The wood frame Greek Revival building was built in 1832 by a noted local builder/architect, and was altered in 1879 to include a Victorian tower and porches. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Description and history The First Baptist Church is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a front gable roof, clapboard siding, and a concrete foundation. A tower projects from its front facade, flanked on either side by hip-roof porches with bracketed columns and chamfered posts. The tower has a bullseye window at its middle stage, and an open belfry stage with decorative Stick woodwork, and is topped by an octagonal steeple. The two entrances, still framed by Greek Revival surrounds, lead into separate vestibule areas, from which stairs lead to the gallery, and entry is gained to the main sanctuary. The nave has rows of bench pews (replacements in 1852 of the original box pews). Lamoine's Baptist congregation was established in the early 19th century, and this building was built for it in 1932 by Seth Tisdale, a noted local builder and designer. The congregation split in the 1840s, resulting in the construction of another church in the town, although the two congregations later reunited. This building was altered in 1879 to designs by Asa Hodgkins, a noted builder from Ellsworth, to replace the tower and add the porches in the then fashionable Italianate and Stick style. In the 20th century the building was deeded to the cemetery association that controls the cemetery behind the building, and it was given by them to the local historical society in the 1970s. The building was moved back one length in the 1980s, at which time it was set on a new foundation. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Hancock County, Maine References
