Маяк острова Рам

Маяк острова Рам (англ. Ram Island Light) — маяк, розташований на острові Рам на вході в гавань міста Бутбей, округ Лінкольн, штат Мен, США. Побудований у 1883 році. Автоматизований у 1965 році. Історія Природна гавань міста Бутбей була дуже зручна для торговельних суден: вона була досить глибокою для них і добре захищала суду під час шторму. У XIX столітті торгові потоки через місто постійно зростали, сам він став центром торгівлі і суднобудування, і 3 березня 1837 року Конгрес США виділив 5 000$ на будівництво маяка на вході в гавань з боку острова Фішерменс, щоб зробити протоку між островом і материком безпечним для судноплавства. Однак, після відвідування передбачуваного місця будівництва, комісія прийшла до висновку, що вже існуючих маяків достатньо для безпечного судноплавства. Але подальше збільшення інтенсивності судноплавства в регіоні призвело до того, що через 45 років це рішення було переглянуто і 7 серпня 1882 року Конгрес США виділив 25 000$ на будівництво маяка. Навесні 1883 року будівля маяка, що має вигляд циліндричної вежі висотою 11 метрів, побудованої з цегли на гранітному фундаменті, що розташована на невеличкій скелі недалеко від берега. Комплекс будівель маяка також включав будинок зберігача, міст, котельню, елінг і пристань. Маяк був автоматизований Береговою охороною США у 1965 році. Оригінальна лінза Френеля була вкрадена після автоматизації, але незабаром її знайшли, і зараз вона знаходиться в музеї Історичного товариства регіону Бутбей. У 1988 році маяк був включений в Національний реєстр історичних місць. Примітки Посилання Boothbay Region Historical Society [Архівовано 15 лютого 2020 у Wayback Machine.]
Readfield Union Meeting House

The Readfield Union Meeting House is a historic brick meeting house at 22 Church Road in Readfield, Maine. Built in 1828, it is a particularly fine example of Federal period architecture for a rural context. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history The Readfield Union Meeting House stands in Readfield's main village, on the west side of Church Road, a short way north of its junction with Maine State Route 41. It is a single-story brick building, with a gable roof topped by a frame tower. The tower projects slightly from the front facade, and has a single tall round-arch window at the center of first level, with a low pedimented gable separating the brick base from the upper stages. The tall second stage is square, with a clock in the upper section; it is topped by an octagonal belfry with louvered openings flanked by Doric pilasters. It is covered by a bell-cast roof. Flanking the tower on the front facade are bays with building entrances at the ground level, with round-arch windows above. The side walls have tall round-arch windows set in recessed openings. Originally built in 1828, the church is an unusually fine example of Federal period church architecture in rural interior Maine. The building was remodeled in 1866-1868 by Hubbard Lovejoy, an architect and builder of central Maine. Part of this renovation included the painting of the walls and ceiling in the trompe-l'œil style, claimed to be the work of artist Charles J. Schumacher of Portland, Maine.

Red's Eats

Red's Eats is a take-out restaurant located in Wiscasset, Maine. It is one of the most well-known and most-written-about restaurants in the state. History Allan "Red" Gagnon has operated since 1938, originally in Boothbay, Maine. It moved to its present location at the intersection of Water Street and Main Street in Wiscasset in 1954. It is open from mid-April to mid-October. In addition to its signature lobster rolls, Red's serves fried clams, hamburgers, french fries, hot dogs, and chicken sandwiches. The lobster rolls were priced at $24.95 as of 2018. Red's building is an actual lobster shack; it has been described as being about the size of a minivan. There is no inside seating; long lines are common (with wait times of an hour or more), and traffic on nearby Route 1 often exceeds 25,000 cars a day in the summer. The restaurant, situated at the western end of the Davey Bridge, is considered a midcoast Maine landmark. It has been profiled in numerous magazine and newspaper reviews, Internet reviews, and television features. One of the owners of the restaurant, Debbie Cronk, co-wrote a book with Virginia Wright called Red’s Eats: World’s Best Lobster Shack.

Red Brick School (Wiscasset, Maine)

The Red Brick School is an historic school building on Warren Street in Wiscasset, Maine, United States. Built in 1807 as a subscription-funded secondary school, it served in that role until 1923. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in October 1970. It now houses an art gallery. Description and history The Red Brick School stands in a residential area northwest of Wiscasset's small commercial center, at the northeast corner of Warren and Hodge Streets. It is a two-story masonry structure, with brick walls, a hip roof topped by a cupola, and a foundation of fieldstone capped by granite slabs. The south-facing front wall is laid in Flemish bond, while the sides and rear are laid in common bond. The front is three bays wide, with windows set in segmented-arch openings topped by brick headers, and a center entrance set in a simple rectangular opening with a small square window to the left. The interior has retained some original finishes despite undergoing alterations for different uses in the 20th century. The area that is now Wiscasset was settled in the 17th century, and was part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which mandated education for its inhabitants. The earliest known classes were held in the meeting house of Pownalborough, which Wiscasset was part of, and then in a district school house built in 1792. Since the district school only provided primary education, the present school building was constructed in 1807 by private subscription to provide secondary education. This private school operated until 1848, and another opened in the building in 1854, running until 1923. The building thereafter housed a local American Legion chapter, and served as a local polling place, before being converted into a studio and gallery space in 1958.

Reid State Park

Reid State Park is a public recreation area overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Georgetown Island in Sagadahoc County, Maine, United States. The 770-acre (310 ha) park is noted for its sandy beaches and sand dunes—both rare in the state of Maine—plus its rocky tidepools, salt marshes, and tidal lagoon. The park is managed by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. History The park lands were donated to the state in 1946 by businessman and philanthropist Walter E. Reid, a native of Georgetown who grew up in a family of modest means and who built an oceanside estate near the grounds of the present-day park. Activities and amenities Ocean swimming is offered at Mile Beach and Half Mile Beach, while warmer waters are found at a tidal inlet, The Lagoon, where the quieter waters tend to be 10 to 15 degrees warmer. The park also has picnicking areas, fishing, and hiking trails. The beaches provide essential nesting areas for endangered least terns and piping plovers. Other wildlife commonly found along the beaches include various shorebirds, eider ducks, clams, and mussels.

Roak Block

The Roak Block is an historic commercial-industrial building at 144-170 Main Street in Auburn, Maine. Built in 1871-72 as a combined commercial and industrial space, this Second Empire style block was at that time the largest commercial building in the entire state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history The Roak Block stands on the east side of Auburn's commercial Main Street, near its junction with Mechanics Row. It is a long 3-1/2 story masonry building, built of brick and stone, with a mansard roof, studded with dormers, providing a full fourth floor in the attic level. The building is 36 bays long, divided into nine sections of four bays. On the ground floor, each section houses a retail storefront except the center one, which provides access to the main building lobby. The storefronts typically consist of display windows flanking a recessed entry. Second floor windows are set in round-arch openings with stone keystones and shoulders, with a narrow stringcourse acting as a sill. The third floor windows have segmented-arch openings, but are otherwise similar. The dormers on the steep roof section have shallow gabled roofs, with drip moulding around the windows. The block was built in 1871-72 to a design by the Lewiston firm of Stevens and Coombs, for Jacob Roak, a shoe manufacturer and leading businessman in the city. At the time of its construction, it was the largest building of its type erected in the state. The upper levels of the building were designed as spaces for incubating businesses related to shoe manufacturing, where small businesses could work until they were successful enough to require larger quarters. The building was used in this fashion for 90 years. Its upper floors have been converted for use as senior housing.

Robert William Traip Academy

Robert William Traip Academy (often abbreviated as R. W. Traip Academy or simply Traip Academy) is a public high school located in Kittery, Maine. It serves the towns of Kittery and Kittery Point, Maine. It is adjacent to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The principal is Jaime Sawler, as of July 1, 2025.[1] History It was founded in 1905 as a private preparatory high school and remained as such until 1967, when it became part of the Kittery School Department. The school was built with funds from the will of the late Robert W. Traip, who died in 1864. After his last heir died in 1897, a school endowment fund was established. The school initially had an enrollment of 27 students. The Robert W. Traip Academy Trust awards scholarships for students and grants for school projects. In 1990, the facility was updated, and the 1909 building was demolished. It is home to roughly 260 students, with each graduating class averaging 55 students. Traip's colors are blue and gold and the mascot is the Rangers. In 2020, the School Committee voted to remove the school's resource officer. In partnership with the Wood Island Life Saving Station Association, the academy created a wooden boat building class which also teaches maritime history. The Civil Rights Team has developed a land acknowledgment statement, honoring the school’s location on land stewarded by the Wabanaki people. The team used the South Berwick Public Library land acknowledgement as a template. In 2022, student artists were influenced by the land acknowledgement process to create a mural of the sun rising over the Atlantic in honor of Wabanaki people past and present. Local artist Julia O’Connell helped the students. Nutrition program Breakfast and lunch are served at the high school each school day. The school has a farm-to-school program and a visiting chef program. A salad bar, funded by Salad Bars to Schools, is available every day. The school also has a garden and a greenhouse. In 2018, Washington D.C.–based Forward Food came to the school to train school nutrition staff in how to make plant-based school meals. The training has enabled the school to serve four or five vegan school meal options per day, featuring hummus veggie wraps, quesadillas with vegan cheese, veggie rice casserole, and Szechuan noodles. Buffalo cauliflower and chocolate hummus with fresh strawberries and pita bread baked with a little bit of cinnamon and sugar are very popular. The school offers avocado toast at breakfast.

Rockland Public Library

The Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union Street in central Rockland, Maine. It is located in an architecturally distinguished building, built in 1903–04 with funding support from Andrew Carnegie. The library was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its architecture. The library is one of the only libraries in Maine designated as a "Star Library" by Library Journal. Architecture and history The Rockland Public Library is located on the west side of Rockland's commercial downtown, at the western end of a parcel bounded by Union, White, and Beech Streets, with St. Peter's Episcopal Church next door to the south. Although it carries a Union Street address, it is separated from that street by a small park, and it has entrances facing the park and White Street. It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of cut granite, with a full basement and a cross-gabled roof configuration. It is roughly H-shaped, with the original 1903-04 building facing east, joined via a wide hyphen to a modern wing facing west. The original main block has Romanesque and Beaux Arts styling, including Doric columns flanking the recessed Union Street entrance, and an apsoidal southern reading area, its windows articulated by pilasters. The library was built in 1903–04, and was funded in part by a $20,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie. It is the city's only major example of Beaux Arts architecture, a style that is also uncommon in the state. It was designed by Maine native George Clough, then in partnership with Herbert Wardner. In July 1910, President William Taft gave a speech to a large audience assembled on the library lawn. In 1915, the building was wired for electricity. In 1942, Maine composer Carrie Burpee Shaw donated her music collection (over 100 books plus sheet music) to the Rockland Public Library.

Wilson Lake (Maine)

Wilson Lake is a 308 acres (0.5 mi2; 1.2 km2) waterbody located in York County, Maine in the United States. The lake is spring-fed and drains to Horn Pond which flows into the Salmon Falls River and eventually empties into the tidal waters of the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth, NH, Great Bay and the Gulf of Maine. Wilson Lake is classified as "good" under the Maine Department of Environmental Protection water quality parameters. The Wilson Lake watershed covers 2,479 acres (3.9 mi2). The watershed is currently 79% forested, 8% developed, and has 49% buildable area. The Wilson Lake shoreline is primarily composed of low density residential houses and camps (63%). The majority of structures (70%) are within 50 feet of the shoreline. Wilson Lake water quality has been measured since 1977. During this period 29 years of secchi disk transparency data, 9 years of phosphorus data, 5 years of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) data, and 17 years of dissolved oxygen (DO) data has been taken. From this data, the median total phosphorus (TP) concentration in 2008 was 6.5 parts per billion (ppb) and mean secchi disk transparency was 5.9 m (19.4 ft). The Wilson Lake Association was established to maintain a program that will reverse any trend of degrading water quality. The associations also encourages all of the lake's stakeholders to be involved and support cooperative efforts to reduce or eliminate the impact of contaminants on lake water quality.

Swan Lake (Maine)

Swan Lake is the second largest lake in Waldo County, Maine. Originally known as Goose Pond, during the 19th century it came increasingly to be referred to as Swan Lake, after the town of Swanville, Maine, which before incorporation had been known as the Plantation of Swan. The lake is drained by Goose River, through a small dam that is owned and operated by Goose River Hydro, Inc., which also owns the water rights. In 1979 an agreement was brokered between the towns of Swanville, Frankfort, Searsport and Goose River Hydro, Inc. The agreement covers water levels as well as Goose River Hydro's responsibility for the dam and land around it. Most of the area of the lake is in the town of Swanville, with the remainder in Searsport and Frankfort. Approximately 350 houses line the shore of the lake. Swan Lake State Park is on the north shore. See also List of lakes in Maine External links Swan Lake Association Swan Lake State Park References
Sheepscot Pond

Sheepscot Pond (also called Sheepscot Lake) is the third-largest lake in Waldo County, Maine. It is in the township of Palermo, on the western edge of Waldo County. The lake has a maximum depth of 150 feet with well-oxygenated water. It contains more than 20 species of fish, and has historically been stocked with salmon, lake trout, and brook trout. Attempts have been made to limit the lamprey eel population by closing the Alaskan Steep-Pass fishway to anadromous fish during their spawning migrations. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has rated the water quality of Sheepscot Pond as average, with total phosphorus concentrations of 5-10 parts per billion, and no significant positive or negative trend in Secchi disk transparencies. The lake provides water for the Palermo Fish Cultural Station. See also List of lakes in Maine References
