Centre Street Congregational Church

Centre Street Congregational Church is a historic church at 9 Center Street in Machias, Maine, United States. Built in 1836–37, it is an important early example of Gothic Revival architecture in northern New England, apparently based on an early design by the noted Gothic architect Richard Upjohn. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The congregation is affiliated with the United Church of Christ; its current pastor is Rev. Susan Maxwell, M. Div. Description and history The Centre Street Congregational Church is located on the east side of Center Street, between Court and Main Streets in downtown Machias. It is a large single-story wood-frame structure, set on a high granite foundation, with a gable roof and clapboard siding. Its west-facing main facade is dominated by a projecting square tower, which begins with three of the five bays of that facade. On the first level are three Gothic-arched openings leading into an open foyer, with Gothic-arched doors leading into the building. The next three stages of the tower have a tall Gothic window, flanked at its sides, and again at the tower corners, by pilasters separated by a cornice line at each level. The tower corners at the third stage have pinnacles, and the fourth stage is reduced in size. The fifth stage houses a clock with faces on each of four sides, and is topped by pinnacles at the corners and a steeple. The church was designed in 1836 and completed in 1837, and is one of the state's oldest surviving examples of Gothic architecture (the oldest is the 1819 Christ Episcopal Church in Gardiner). It was designed by a Mr. Stephenson, about whom nothing is known, but the plans appear to be remarkably similar to Richard Upjohn's plans for St. John's Catholic Church in Bangor (built in 1835–39, no longer standing). The church bell was a used bell cast by the foundry of Paul Revere. The organ was built by George Stevens and installed in 1867, and the clock, built by E. Howard & Co., was installed in 1870.

Charles A. Jordan House

The Charles A. Jordan House is a historic house at 63 Academy Street in Auburn, Maine. Built c. 1880, it is one of the finest examples of Second Empire style in the state. Charles Jordan was a local master builder, who built this house as a residence and as a showcase of his work. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Jordan House is set on the southern fringe of what has long been a fashionable neighborhood of Auburn, just south of its central business district. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a mansard roof over the third floor, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The main facade faces south, and is three bays wide, with a central projecting bay that rises a full three stories with a mansard roof top. The house has a wealth of exterior decorative woodwork, including an elaborately decorated porch across the front. The main roof and porch cornices are both detailed with brackets, and the window surrounds also feature projecting cornices with small brackets. The corners of the building are quoined on the first floor, and then pilastered to the roof line. The tower features an elaborately hooded window in the third floor, with arched cornices on each side above, and dormer windows in the steeply sloping mansard roof. Charles A. Jordan was a local master builder, born in 1856, and this house was apparently built c. 1880 as proof of his skill as a builder. Jordan most prominent local buildings included a school building, the Avon Mill, and many local residences. On September 30, 2018, the house was severely damaged by a fire. The next day, police charged a local man with arson in connection with the fire. Despite initial reports that the house had been "destroyed," firefighters put out the fire before it could consume the entire house. The Lebrun family, owners of the house since 1945, made immediate investments to stabilize the structure and hold up the roof, but the house remains in dire condition. In 2019, Maine Preservation added the house to its list of Maine's Most Endangered Historic Places, writing that "considerable and timely restoration efforts must be made to halt further deterioration, and to make the building habitable."

Las esquinas del edificio se cuelgan en el primer piso y luego se colocan pilastras hasta la línea del techo. La torre cuenta con una elaborada ventana encapuchada en el tercer piso, con cornisas arqueadas a cada lado y ventanas abuhardilladas en el techo abuhardillado inclinado.​ Charles A. Jordan era un maestro constructor local, nacido en 1856, y esta casa aparentemente fue construida c. 1880 como prueba de su habilidad como constructor. Los edificios locales más destacados de Jordan incluían un edificio escolar, el Avon Mill y muchas residencias locales.​ El 30 de septiembre de 2018, la casa resultó gravemente dañada por un incendio.​ Al día siguiente, la policía acusó a un hombre local de incendio provocado en relación con el suceso.​ A pesar de los informes iniciales de que la casa había sido "destruida", los bomberos apagaron el fuego antes de que pudiera consumir toda la casa.​ La familia Lebrun, propietaria del inmueble desde 1945, hizo inversiones inmediatas para estabilizar la estructura y sostener el techo, pero la casa permanece en pésimas condiciones.​ En 2019, Maine Preservation la agregó a su lista de los lugares históricos más amenazados de Maine, y escribió que "se deben realizar esfuerzos de restauración considerables y oportunos para detener un mayor deterioro y hacer que el edificio sea habitable".​ Referencias
Charles L. Cushman House

The Charles L. Cushman House is an historic house at 8 Cushman Place in Auburn, Maine. Built in 1889 for the son of a major local shoe manufacturer, it is unusual as an example of Queen Anne architecture executed in stone, and is one of the finest residential commissions of Lewiston architect George M. Coombs. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Description and history The Cushman House is set at the southern end of Cushman Place, overlooking the Little Androscoggin River south of Auburn's downtown area. It is a large 2+1⁄2-story fieldstone structure, with wood and cut granite trim elements. It has a cross-gable roof, and is set on a full basement. Its design includes many characteristic Queen Anne traits, including asymmetrical facades with ornamented gables, multiple porches, a porte-cochere, and an arched window surrounded by wood carvings. A two-story tower with conical roof is set at one corner. Charles Cushman was the son of Ara Cushman, owner of the Ara Cushman Company, one of the largest manufacturers of shoes in New England. At the time this house was built in 1889, Charles Cushman was vice president of the company and supervised three factories with 118,000 square feet (11,000 m2) of space, with more than 1,000 workers. George M. Coombs was at the time a prolific and leading architect of the Auburn-Lewiston area, best known for his many industrial and civic buildings. He executed a significant number of commissions in the Auburn-Lewiston area, with this one receiving particular notice in the American Architect and Building News after its completion.

Chestnut Street Methodist Church (Portland, Maine)

The former Chestnut Street Methodist Church is an historic church building at 15 Chestnut Street in Portland, Maine. Built in 1856, it is rare in the city as an early example of Gothic Revival architecture, and is one of the few surviving works of Charles A. Alexander, a popular architect of the period. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It now houses an event venue. Description and history The former Chestnut Street Church building is set in the city center, directly behind Portland City Hall on the east side of Chestnut Street. It is a single story masonry structure, built out of pressed brick with brownstone trim. Its slate roof is steeply pitched at the center, with a gentler slope over the outer aisles of the nave. Its foundation is brick, faced in brownstone to a height of 2 feet (0.61 m). Its walls are buttressed, with Gothic arched windows between the buttresses on the side walls. The main facade is symmetrical, with a pair of equal-height towers flanking the central gable. The towers originally had more elaborate spires, but these were removed for safety reasons in the 1950s, as were similar spires on the buttresses. There are three entrances, one at the center between the towers, and one each on the side aisles, all set in Gothic arched openings. The church was built in 1856 for a Methodist congregation that had been meeting on the site since 1808. It is the first Methodist church into which an organ was installed. The building was designed by Charles A. Alexander, who designed a number of high-profile buildings in Portland in the 1850s, all of the others having either been demolished or significantly altered. The early Gothic style is also rare in Portland, as many buildings from the 1850s and early 1860s were lost in the 1866 fire. In 1904, the Maine Women's Suffragist Association held their 24th annual convention at the church. The building was restored and converted into Grace restaurant in 2009 and into an event venue in 2019.

Christ Episcopal Church (Gardiner, Maine)

Christ Episcopal Church is a historic church located at 1 Dresden Avenue in Gardiner, Maine. It was built in 1820 for the oldest congregation in the Episcopal Diocese of Maine. It is the oldest known example of ecclesiastical Gothic Revival architecture in New England, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The church reported 134 members in 2015 and 216 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $144,695. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 92 persons. Description and history Christ Episcopal Church is located in central Gardiner, on the east side the town common and the junction of Church and Dresden Streets. It is a rectangular stone structure with a square tower projecting from the center of the front (west-facing) facade. The main roof has flat wings and a gabled center, and is surrounded by low battlement-style crenellations. The square portion of the tower is topped by similar crenellations, with an octagonal spire above. The front facade has entrances in the tower and the flanking sections, set in lancet-arched openings. Above each is a Gothic window with tracery, that in the tower considerably larger. The side elevations each have three tall Gothic windows. The Episcopal Church in Gardiner was organized in 1772 by Sylvester Gardiner, a major landowner for whom the city is named. This building, constructed in 1820, is its third sanctuary, the first having succumbed to fire in 1792, and the congregation having outgrown the second. It was designed by the Rev. Samuel Farmar Jarvis in what was then termed the "Gothick" style, which was then without precedent in New England.

Church of the Advent (Limestone, Maine)

The Church of the Advent is a historic church building on Church Street, one block south of the junction with Maine State Route 229 in Limestone, Maine. Built in 1881, the architecturally eclectic Gothic/Romanesque building was constructed for an Episcopalian church congregation founded in 1872, which is believed to be the oldest in Limestone. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Architecture and building history The Church of the Advent is a modest wood-frame building, with a distinctive steeply gabled roof and a small tower just to the left of the main block. The main (west-facing) facade has two tall and narrow round-headed windows, with the main entrance in a rounded opening in the tower. A narrow rectangular window is above the doorway in the tower, with an open belfry above, capped by a pyramidal roof. Behind the sanctuary is a wider modern single-story addition built of concrete blocks, with a shallow-pitch gable roof. The interior (walls and barrel-vaulted ceiling) are finished in stained tongue-and-groove woodwork, although early accounts describe the church ceiling as having been plastered. Surviving original features include wall-mounted oil lamps. The Episcopal congregation that built the church in 1881 was founded in 1872, and is believed to be Limestone's first organized church group. It originally met in a school before having this building built. The building was originally located on the Grand Falls Road where the Protestant Cemetery continues to stand. The church was moved on log rollers, using horses to its present location over several months in 1896. It was reported in 1904 that its tower had been raised to accommodate the belfry.
