Portland Club (Portland, Maine)

The Portland Club is a social club at 156 State Street in Portland, Maine. It operates as a 501(c)(3) Public Charity; in 2024, it claimed total revenue of $55,650 and total assets of $519,025. Services and facilities The Portland Club is located in the Hunnewell-Shepley Mansion, on the south side of State Street, between Pine and Spring Streets, on the east side of Portland's West End. The Federal-style mansion was built in 1805 to a design by Alexander Parris, with later Colonial Revival updates by John Calvin Stevens. It has housed the club since 1921. The building is an important local work by Parris, a Boston architect who, under the direction of Joseph Ingraham, helped to define much of Portland's skyline with his beautiful structures. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The Portland Club holds many meetings of social and political interest. The mansion itself is home to many paintings and antiques that are original to the club, along with over 12 antique mahogany pool tables on the second floor. The Portland Club was one of the first clubs to bring women into the organization as The Woman's Portland Club. History The Portland Club began in 1886, after Fred N. Dow and a group of influential friends decided to organize their informal gatherings into a club. The men's purpose was to "discuss current events," and though never part of the by-laws, to promote the Republican Party agenda. Because Republicans controlled Maine's government, the club was widely recognized as the de facto seat of political power for decades. Another social club, Woodfords Club was formed in the burgeoning suburban neighborhoods of Portland in 1913. The club acquired the mansion in 1921 and has been the home of The Portland Club ever since. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Portland, Maine References

Portland Transportation Center

Portland Transportation Center is a bus and train station in Portland, Maine, United States, served and run primarily by Concord Coach Lines (18 round-trips a day) and Amtrak Downeaster passenger trains (five round-trips a day). It is also served by Megabus (via Concord Coach Lines), as well as the Greater Portland Metro route 1 and BREEZ bus services. The station is open daily from 2:45 AM to 10:30 PM. Portland Transportation Center is located in Portland's Libbytown neighborhood, about a half mile west of the former site of Portland Union Station and adjacent to Thompson's Point. Located next to Pan Am Railways' Mountain Branch, formerly the Mountain Division of the Maine Central Railroad, in 2019 the NNERPA Board (which governs the Downeaster service) supported a proposal to relocate the station to the mainline to avoid time-consuming backup moves. A two-year study by the Maine Department of Transportation endorsed moving Amtrak service from this station to a location near Portland's original Union Station, on St. John Street. A 2024 Amtrak study identified three potential locations: between Congress Street and Park Avenue, the Union Station site, and near Mercy Hospital south of the Mountain Branch junction.

Maine

Maine je američka savezna država u regiji New England. Glavni grad je Augusta, a najveći Portland. Povijest Prvi engleski doseljenici su se naselili na području današnje savezne države Maine 1607. godine. Zbog nedostatka opreme i zaliha, vratili su se u Englesku, a prva stalna naselja su napravljena 1620-ih. Kroz većinu svoje povijesti, Maine je bila dio države Massachusetts, do 15. ožujka 1820. kad je postala 23. država SAD-a. Okruzi Država Maine danas se sastoji od 16 okruga (counties). Prije je Maine bila dio države Massachusetts pod nazivom "District of Maine", no objavila je neovisnost 1820.

Maine

Maine [mêjn] je zvezna država ZDA, del regije Nova Anglija na skrajnem severovzhodu države. Na zahodu meji na New Hampshire, na jugovzhodu na Mainski zaliv Atlantskega oceana, na severozahodu in severovzhodu pa na kanadski provinci Novi Brunswick ter Québec. Je 39. največja ameriška zvezna država po površini in 43. po številu prebivalcev; po podatkih iz leta 2020 ima približno 1,3 milijona prebivalcev. Glavno mesto je Augusta, največje pa Portland. Država je znana po razbrazdani atlantski obali in gozdnati notranjosti. Zaradi ostrega podnebja in konfliktov z domorodci so bili evropski naseljenci dolgo časa maloštevilčni. Med britansko-ameriško vojno so pretežno nebranjen vzhodni del za kratek čas zasedli Britanci s ciljem pripojitve Kanadi, a so bile kmalu spet vzpostavljene predvojne meje. Ozemlje je bilo do leta 1820 del Massachusettsa, ko so prebivalci izglasovali odcepitev. Še istega leta je bil Maine sprejet v zvezo kot 23. država. Več plovil Vojne mornarice ZDA je bilo poimenovanih po državi - USS Maine.

Province Lake

Province Lake is a 968-acre (392 ha) water body located on the border between New Hampshire and Maine in the United States. Approximately 950 acres (380 ha) of the lake lie in the towns of Effingham and Wakefield, New Hampshire, with the remainder in Parsonsfield, Maine. Its outlet is the South River, flowing north to the Ossipee River, a tributary of the Saco River. Province Lake's maximum depth is between 15 and 17 feet (4.6 and 5.2 m), quite shallow for a New Hampshire lake, so there are no coldwater fish within. It is fed by several wetland areas, one named stream (Hobbs Brook), and by underwater springs. The quality of the water is high. The lake is classified as a warmwater fishery, with observed species including smallmouth and largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and horned pout. Loons, great blue heron, occasional mergansers and bald eagles are seen at the lake. See also List of lakes in Maine List of lakes in New Hampshire References
Opera House at Boothbay Harbor

The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor, also known historically as the Boothbay Harbor Opera House, Knights of Pythias Hall, the Opera House, and as the Pythian Opera House, is a historic meeting hall and multifunction building at 86 Townsend Avenue in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Built in 1894, it has housed government offices of the town, and the meeting spaces of fraternal organizations, prior to its present use as a performance venue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 30, 2008. Description and history The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor stands near the northern end of Boothbay Harbor's downtown area, at the southwest corner of Townsend Avenue and Smith Street. It is a large 3+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and brick foundation. Its exterior is finished mainly in wooden clapboards, with bands of decorative scallop-cut shingles. The main facade faces east toward Townsend Avenue, and is symmetrically arranged with paired sash windows in the outer bays. The center bay has the main entrance, accessed by a flight of granite steps flanked by decorative railings. The entry is also elaborate, with pilasters supporting a broad entablature and cornice. The second level has two windows flanked by paired pilasters, again with an entablature above. A three-part Palladian style window occupies the center third floor bay, above which a gabled wall dormer rises into the attic level. The interior of the building has a foyer, which opens into the main auditorium, featuring a stage with proscenium arch, and a balcony running along the sides and rear. The third floor historically housed meeting and storage spaces of the fraternal organizations using the hall, and now also includes a commercial kitchen. The hall was built in 1894 to a design by the prominent Portland architectural firm of Francis H. Fassett and his son, Edward F. Fassett. It was built by the Pythian Hall Company as a multifunction space, housing the town offices as well as space for both the Knights of Pythias and the local Freemasons. It house town offices into the 1930s, and as a fraternal hall into the 1960s, with town meetings held here into the 1970s. During these periods it was also used as a community meeting and cultural event venue. At the time of its construction, it dominated the village skyline, which was otherwise mainly one and two-story wood-frame buildings. Sold in 1977 after the town ended its town meeting lease, the building was repurposed into a commercial retail space, and was in 2005 converted back into a performance venue.

Ram Island Light

Ram Island Light is a lighthouse located just offshore of Ram Island, marking the eastern entrance to Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and the west side of the mouth of the Damariscotta River. It was built in 1883 and automated in 1965. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Ram Island Light Station on January 21, 1988. Description and history Ram Island is part of a group of islands along the eastern edge of Boothbay, extending roughly southward from Ocean Point, the southernmost mainland point of the town of Boothbay, at the tip of the Linekin Neck peninsula. The island is separated by a narrow channel from Fisherman's Island, a long and narrow north-south island. Ram Island Light is located offshore, about 100 feet (30 m) north of Ram Island. The tower consists of an ashlar granite base, from which the main brick tower rises to a polygonal lantern house. The lantern house is surrounded by an iron walkway and railing, and is capped by a ventilator. It now houses a modern light fixture. The tower was originally connected to the island by an elevated walkway. On the island stand the keeper's house, and a fuel house, both wood frame structures, and a small brick oil house. By the late 19th century, Boothbay Harbor had become a major commercial and shipbuilding center of Mid Coast Maine, with a growing tourist trade and scheduled steamer service from cities further south. This station was established in 1883 to mark the easternmost entrance to the harbor area, and the western approach to the Damariscotta River. The light was automated in 1965.

Маяк острова Рам

Маяк острова Рам (англ. Ram Island Light) — маяк, расположенный на острове Рам на входе в гавань города Бутбей, округ Линкольн, штат Мэн, США. Построен в 1883 году. Автоматизирован в 1965 году. История Природная гавань города Бутбей была очень удобна для торговых судов: она была достаточно глубокой для них и хорошо защищала суда во время шторма. В XIX веке торговые потоки через город постоянно росли, сам он стал центром торговли и судостроения, и 3 марта 1837 года Конгресс США выделил 5000$ на строительство маяка на входе в гавань со стороны острова Фишерменс, чтобы сделать пролив между островом и материком безопасным для судоходства. Однако, после посещения предполагаемого места строительства, комиссия пришла к выводу, что уже существующих маяков достаточно для безопасного судоходства. Но дальнейшее увеличение интенсивности судоходства в регионе привело к тому, что спустя 45 лет это решение было пересмотрено и 7 августа 1882 года Конгресс США выделил 25 000 $ на строительство маяка. Весной 1883 года здание маяка, представляющее собой цилиндрическую башню выстой 11 метров, построенную из кирпича на гранитном фундаменте, расположенную на небольшой скале недалеко от берега. Комплекс зданий маяка также включал дом хранителя, мост, котельную, эллинг и пристань. Маяк был автоматизирован Береговой охраной США в 1965 году. Оригинальная линза Френеля была украдена после автоматизации, но вскоре ее нашли, и сейчас она находится в музее Исторического общества региона Бутбей. В 1988 году маяк был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Примечания Ссылки Boothbay Region Historical Society
