Church of the New Jerusalem (Fryeburg, Maine)

The Church of the New Jerusalem, now known as The Fryeburg New Church, is a congregation of The New Church (Swedenborgianism) at 12 Oxford Street in Fryeburg, Maine. The historic church building is a Stick style structure designed by Portland architect, Charles H. Kimball, and built in 1878. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Architecture and building history The church building is a two-story wood frame structure, set on a narrow side street just off Main Street in Fryeburg center. It has board-and-batten siding, and a gable roof. A two-story tower at the southeast corner of the building provides the main entrance and a belfry, while a smaller engaged tower adorns the other corner of the main facade. The belfry of the main tower is a louvered square, and is topped by a pyramidal roof. The smaller tower is also topped by a pyramidal roof, but the base courses of the roof are flared out. The front-facing gable end of the church is heavily decorated with Stick style applied woodwork, including Gothic lancet-shaped headers over the windows and brackets under the eaves. Many of these details are repeated in the interior decoration, where wood inlay is found in the ceiling, pews, and other furnishings. In addition to the main sanctuary, the building houses a library, kitchen, pantry, and dining area. The building was designed by Portland architect Charles H. Kimball, and is one of his finest ecclesiastical works. It was built for a recently formed Swedenborgian congregation, and was completed in 1897 at a cost of $4,000. It was just the third Swedenborgian church in the state. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Oxford County, Maine References External links Official site
Cliff Island

Cliff Island is an island in Casco Bay, Maine, United States. It is part of the city of Portland. As of the 2000 census, the island had a year-round population of approximately 60 people. In the summer, the island's population grows to about 200, despite the fact that it is the only year-round inhabited island in Casco Bay with no paved roads. The ZIP Code for Cliff Island is 04019. In the early 20th century, the island's inns were a draw for summer tourists. There are no longer any hotels, but many homes are available for weekly rentals or longer. While there are no public services, residents enjoy a community hall, a tennis court, baseball field, and playground. The residents are served by a USPS Post Office, fire department, and one-room school for elementary grades. While the postal service has considered closing the office in the past, the islanders have managed to keep it in operation for six hours a day. Transportation Cliff Island residents (also known as Cliff Islanders) travel back and forth to the mainland via the Casco Bay Lines ferry service. The ride takes about one hour. Residents mostly buy groceries in Portland, but there is a small store on the island. Bicycles, golf carts and electric carts are most often used for transportation. A barge ramp was added in 2008 to ease delivery of trucks and heavy items. See also List of islands of Maine Education in Maine Edward S. Ellis References External links Official site

College Block-Lisbon Block

The College Block/Lisbon Block is an historic commercial and civic building in Lewiston, Maine, United States. Built in 1855-56, it is the oldest surviving building in the city of the Franklin Company, the city's major early developer. The building has house many local civic groups, and served as Lewiston's town hall prior to its incorporation as a city in 1863. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The College Block/Lisbon Block stands on the east side of Lisbon Street, the main street in Lewiston’s commercial downtown, at the northeast corner with Chestnut Street. It is a long four-story brick building, with seventeen bays facing Lisbon Street. It has eight storefronts on the ground floor, each with recessed entries flanked by display windows, and a modest building entrance to the right of the leftmost storefront. The second and third floor windows are rectangular sash, with stone sills and lintels. Eight windows near the center of the second floor are taller, with transom panes above the sashes. The fourth floor bays have a combination of fixed-pane windows and blind brick panels. The building is capped with a flat roof with projecting Italianate cornice. The block was built in 1855-56 by the Franklin Company, and was one of the first buildings it erected in what is now Lewiston's downtown. The building's upper-level meeting spaces have been used over the decades as the town hall, space for church congregations to worship, and a wide array of fraternal and social civic organizations. The city's first Franco-American society, the Institute Jacques-Cartier, met here from the 1870s until 1939. Originally called the Lisbon Block, it was renamed the College Block c. 1881 after ownership of the building was taken over by Bates College.

Continental Mill Housing

The Continental Mill Housing buildings are a pair of historic mill worker housing blocks at 66-82 Oxford Street in Lewiston, Maine. The Greek Revival/Italianate housing units were built in 1866, and are all that remain of a large number of similar buildings that once lined Oxford Street. These two buildings were listed the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Description and history The Continental Mill Housing blocks are located on the east side of Oxford Street on the west side of central Lewiston, facing the former Continental Mill complex, which lies between them and the Androscoggin River. The two buildings are nearly identical four-story brick structures, with shallow-pitch hip roofs with bracketed cornice, interior end chimneys, and windows with granite lintels and sills. The south building differs from the north one slightly, with a wooden cupola set near the front, and a colonnaded wooden porch on its north side. Each block is ten bays wide and six deep, with a pair of recessed entries. The site of Continental Mill originally had a small wooden mill, built in 1858, when it was purchased in 1866 by the Continental Company. It replaced this modest structure with a much larger complex, and required housing to accommodate the large influx of workers. To this end it built a series of these tenement houses across the canal and street from the mill, a practice typical of other mill owners in the area. At that time, the property fronted the canal, with a lawn and trees presenting a dignified atmosphere. These buildings were designed by Amos D. Lockwood and supervised by Albert H. Kelsey, agent of the company. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Androscoggin County, Maine References
Cousins Island Chapel

Cousins Island Chapel is an historic non-denominational chapel at 414 Cousins Street on Cousins Island, an island in Casco Bay off the coast of Yarmouth, Maine. Built in 1894 by local year-round residents, it is the most architecturally notable building on the island, and is representative of a late 19th-century trend of building summer chapels in coastal Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Description and history Cousins Island Chapel is located near the center of Cousins Island, on the east side of the main road (Cousins Street) at its junction with Talbot Road (which is the sole outlet to Littlejohn Island). The chapel is a modest single-story wood-frame structure, with a steeply pitched gable roof, and an exterior finished in a combination of wooden shingles and board-and-batten siding. It is oriented with its long axis parallel to the road, with a band of sash windows offset to the left of center on the street-facing facade, and a hip-roofed entrance porch to the right. The gable ends have lancet-arched windows, some with stained glass, with board-and-batten siding in the gables. There are decorative sawn brackets at the lower edge of the roof where it flare out slightly. The chapel was built in 1894–95 by volunteer labor organized by the Yarmouth First Baptist Church, to provide a place of worship for the residents of Cousins and Littlejohn Islands. Although most of the services held there were Baptist, the building was open to all denominations. It was used regularly for services until World War II, and is now maintained by a local nonprofit group and is open for services at 10:15 am in July and August. The chapel is one of a series of architecturally distinctive coastal chapels built in Maine during the late 19th century, although it is distinguished from the others in that it was built for year-round residents, rather than for summer visitors.

Cow Island, Maine

Cow Island is a 26-acre (11 ha) island in Casco Bay, Maine, United States, off Great Diamond Island, about 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of downtown Portland, and is part of the Town of Long Island in Cumberland County. A non-profit organization called Rippleffect bought Cow Island in 2005 for $625,000, where it runs leadership development programs for youth and adults. Under a permanent conservation easement created by prior owner Maine Coast Heritage Trust as a condition of the sale, public access is allowed on a stretch of the northern shore, with that land included as a stop of the Maine Island Trail. History The Cow Island name is thought to be derived from the colonial-era practice of keeping livestock on small islands during grazing season, an easy method to keep them corraled. With the 1873 establishment of Fort McKinley on Great Diamond, the U.S. government purchased Cow Island for greater coverage of the Hussey Sound approach to Portland Harbor. Fort Lyon was named for Nathaniel Lyon, the first Union general to be killed in the American Civil War. Work did not begin until 1900 with initial land clearing, and foundations were poured in 1903 for a trio of three-inch guns that would not be mounted until 1909 as Battery Abbot, named for Union officer Edward Stanley Abbot who died of wounds sustained in the Battle of Gettysburg. In August 1903, the U.S. military staged a military exercise in Casco Bay as the Navy developed strategies for warships to assault fortified harbors like Portland, and with the U.S. Army testing its ability to defend shore installations including Cow Island. The Army approved a second battery of three, six-inch guns for Fort Lyon, which were emplaced on the southeastern side of the island. The battery was named for George Dashiell Bayard, a Union general who died of wounds incurred in the Battle of Fredericksburg. During World War II, Fort Lyon was again garrisoned with a coastal artillery company tasked with defending Hussey Sound from minesweepers or other incursions, with antisubmarine netting stretching across the sound with a gate to let authorized vessels enter or depart the inner bay. In 1948, the federal War Assets Administration put multiple island military reservations up for sale in Casco Bay, including Cow Island, Great Diamond Island and Little Chebeague Island, with veterans given priority for any purchases. While entering the inner bay via Hussey Sound in July 1972, the Wilh. Wilhelmsen tanker Tamano struck Soldier Ledge. Tamano continued to an anchorage between Long Island and Clapboard Island before the crew discovered a tank had been pierced. About 100,000 gallons of No. 6 fuel oil spilled into Casco Bay, with Cow Island among the islands with shorelines contaminated by oil. Vestiges of Fort Lyon's concrete works remain on Cow Island today, including a large pill-box near the center and two underground tunnels below it that appear to have been used to store ammunition and supplies. Cow Island Ledge is located north of the island with Cow Island Ledge Light serving as a navigational beacon there. See also List of islands of Maine References
Criehaven

Criehaven, auch Ragged Island genannt, ist ein Unorganized Territory im Knox County in Maine. Die Inseln, die zu Criehaven gehören, bildeten ab 1896 die Criehaven Plantation, mit eigener Schule und Postamt, welche ihre Organisation im Jahr 1925 jedoch zurückgab, da es für die wenigen Bewohner zu viel Aufwand war, die Strukturen aufrechtzuerhalten. Seitdem untersteht das Gebiet der Verwaltung durch die Land Use Planning Commission. Der Name blieb jedoch erhalten. Lage Criehaven liegt auf mehreren Inseln in der Penobscot Bay des Atlantischen Ozeans, südlich von Matinicus Isle, welches 14,9 km entfernt ist. Criehaven ist die am weitesten in den Atlantischen Ozean ragende Ansiedlung im Knox County. Zum UT Criehaven gehören die bekannteren Inseln Ragged Island, Matinicus Rock mit dem unter Denkmalschutz stehenden Matinicus Rock Light und Seal Island, sowie weitere kleinere Inseln wie Melcom Ledge, Pudding Island, Shag Island, Harbour Ledge oder Green Ledge. Geschichte Benannt wurde Criehaven nach Robert Crie. Crie stammte von Matincus Isle und kaufte 1848 im Alter von 19 Jahren die Insel, auf der er für sich und seine Frau Harriet Hall aus Camden eine Blockhütte, später ein Gehöft errichtete. Crie war in der Landwirtschaft tätig, hielt im Jahr 1880 110 Schafe auf der Insel und produzierte mehr als 12 Tonnen Heu. Es entstand eine kleine Siedlung, mit mehreren Häusern und Werften, die die Lebensgrundlage der Bewohner sichern sollte. Auf der Insel wurde wenig Landwirtschaft betrieben, hauptsächlich lebten die Bewohner von der Fischerei. Heute wird die Insel nur noch im Sommer bewohnt, nur ein Einwohner lebt das komplette Jahr auf der Insel. Crie baute Packhäuser für Salzkabeljau, den er nach Boston verschiffte. Die Packer beherbergte er in den Gebäuden über den Verpackgsböden. Crie organisierte die Ansiedlung als Plantation, er gründete ein Geschäft und eine Schule, eröffnete einen Fährdienst, ein Postamt und hatte einen Konstabler eingesetzt, um Recht und Ordnung zu sichern. Er verwaltete die Insel wie ein Lehnsherr, entschied, wer Immobilien kaufen konnte und war auf der Insel als King Crie bekannt. Nach seinem Tod florierte die Ansiedlung eine Zeitlang, jedoch führten Stürme, Brände und andere Probleme nach 29 Jahren zur Auflösung der Organisation als Plantation im Jahr 1925. Seitdem steht Criehaven unter der Autorität der Land Use Planning Commission. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Website von Criehaven (englisch)

Cumston Hall

Cumston Hall is a historic community building at 796 Main Street in downtown Monmouth, Maine. Built in 1900, it is one of the most flamboyant examples of wooden Romanesque Revival architecture to be found in a small-town setting in the entire state. It was a gift to the town of Dr. Charles M. Cumston, and presently houses the local public library and local theatrical companies. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Description Cumston Hall stands prominently in the village of Monmouth, on the east side of Main Street (Maine State Route 132), opposite its junction with Blue Road. It is a large two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. A square tower, about 70 feet (21 m) in height, projects from the front right corner, rising to a pyramidal roof with small corner turrets. The exterior is festooned with applied woodwork, with grouped round columns supporting an arcaded ground floor. Upper floor windows consists of paired round-arch windows, with a Palladian-style three part window in a gabled projecting section above the main entrance. History Cumston Hall was completed in 1900 and is named in honor of Dr. Charles M. Cumston, a former headmaster at the English High School in Boston, who gave the Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne style building to Monmouth equipped with a library and auditorium. Cumston chose Harry Hayman Cochrane (1860–1946), a muralist who went to school in Monmouth, to design and decorate it. Cochrane's work is most noted in the cherubic portraits that adorn the ceiling and the intricate hand-molded plaster work that frames the walls, boxes, and proscenium arch of the stage. Today, Cumston Hall is the home of the Cumston Public library, the Theater at Monmouth, Monmouth Community Players, and many local activities. The theatrical productions staged here are a draw for people living outside of Monmouth to come and see this landmark.

Curtis Island (Maine)

Curtis Island is an island located in the exterior of Camden Harbor, in Camden, Maine, United States. Curtis Island was initially known as Mark Island to early explorers. Then, around 1768, the island became known as Negro Island, named after a black sailor who later lived there and among the Penobscot tribal nation. The island updated its name in 1934 after Cyrus H. K. Curtis, publisher of the Saturday Evening Post, a long time resident and benefactor of Camden. There is a lighthouse and caretaker's house on the southwestern point of the island. There are two paths around either side of the island and one open grassy path down the middle. The island light is depicted in the Fitz Henry Lane painting Lighthouse at Camden, Maine.
