A part of Regional School Unit 4, this regional high school serves students from the towns of Sabattus, Litchfield, and Wales. The mascot is the Raider, represented by a raccoon. The school is located on Oak Hill at an elevation of 632 feet. History Oak Hill High School opened in 1976 on Oak Hill in Wales, Maine. Before it opened, students in the three towns attended Monmouth Academy. In 1994, a new wing with six classrooms, offices, and a courtyard was constructed. Before the addition, the school relied on portable classrooms to meet its space needs. When the school opened it was served by well water. Eventually, a total of seven wells were dug, but all ran dry and none could meet the school's needs. By 2018, only two wells were active and were not supplying enough water to meet the building's needs and the school was forced to dismiss students early. By 2019, the school was connected to the Sabattus Water District. In 2025, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court heard three appeals on October 8 at the school as part of the courts' tradition of hearing cases in public high schools.

Dingley Building

The Dingley Building, formerly the Oak Street School, is a historic municipal building at 36 Oak Street in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1890, it is a distinctive local example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, designed by local architect George M. Coombs. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It now houses the Lewiston school system's administrative offices. Description and history The Dingley Building stands near the eastern edge of Lewiston's commercial downtown area, on a lot bounded by Middle, Oak, and Bates Streets. It is a two-story masonry structure, built of red brick with stone trim. It is covered by a tall hip roof, and is set on a raised basement, from which it is separated by a stone beltcourse. The main entrance is recessed in a large round-arch opening, which shelters the stairs providing access. The entrance is set in a projecting gabled section, from which a turret rises at the left corner, topped by an open belvedere and a convex circular roof. Windows in the projecting section above the entrance are set in round-arch openings, in a group of four on the second level, and in a Palladian-style group of three in the gable. The school building was designed by architect George M. Coombs and was built in 1890. The name was changed to the Dingley Building in 1899 in honor of Nelson Dingley, Jr., a former governor of Maine and longtime congressman from Maine's second district. It was later used as an elementary school, then the headquarters for the Lewiston Board of Education. It remains the central office for the school district today. The Lewiston Historical Commission also meets in the building. A lightning bolt struck the Dingley Building in June 2008, causing no injuries, but resulting in moderate damage to the wooden tower as well as utilities.

Oakhurst Dairy

Oakhurst Dairy ist ein US-amerikanisches Molkereiunternehmen mit Sitz in Portland im Bundesstaat Maine. Die Unternehmensform ist die einer Genossenschaft. Der erste Vorgänger des Unternehmens war eine 1902 von Arthur Leadbetter in Portland gegründeter Milchviehbetrieb. Der Name des Unternehmens wurde 1918 in Oakhurst geändert. 1921 kaufte Stanley Bennett, der seit 1920 Geschäftsführer war, die Farm einschließlich der Molkerei. Finanziert wurde die Transaktion durch von einem lokalen Geschäftsmann namens Nathan Cushman. Angeliefert wurde die Milch in dem Jahr in zwei Touren mit Pferdefuhrwerken. Bis 1923 waren es schon zwölf Touren und 1929 war die Milcherfassung auf 28 angewachsen. In den ersten Jahren war man bemüht, höhere qualitative Standards als die Mitbewerber einzuhalten. Von Seiten der Molkerei wurden nicht nur die Produktionsanlagen, sondern auch die Ställe der Milchlieferanten häufig kontrolliert. 1933 wurde von Oakhurst Dairy als erster amerikanischer Molkerei die Milch auf Tuberkuloseerreger untersucht. In den 1940er Jahren versuchte man sich vom Großhandel unabhängig zu machen und belieferte Schulen, Supermärkte und auch das örtliche Krankenhaus direkt. 1941 übernahm die Familie Benett sämtliche Unternehmensanteile. 1954 wurden die Produktionskapazität auf 40.000 Liter pro Tag erhöht, was einer Verdreifachung der seitherigen Anlagenkapazität entsprach. Aus Kostengründen wurde 1976 der Lieferung von Milch zu privaten Haushalten eingestellt. 1977 wurde Sanford Dairy übernommen. In den nächsten 15 Jahren folgten dieser Übernahme noch weitere von anderen kleineren Molkereiunternehmen. Fitzpatrick Dairy, eine kleinere Molkerei, beantragte ein Kartellverfahren gegen Oakhurts-Dairy. 1990 erhielt der vormalige Besitzer von Fitzpatrick Dairy 1,9 Millionen Dollar Entschädigung gerichtlich zugesprochen. 2003 verklagte Monsanto das Molkereiunternehmen wegen der Werbeaussage auf den Milchkartons „Our farmer's pledge: no artificial hormones used“ (deutsch: „Das Versprechen unseres Landwirts: keine künstlichen Hormone“). Die Aussage bezog sich darauf, dass es den Lieferanten von Oakhurst untersagt war Rinder-Somatotropin (rBST) einzusetzen, ein von Monsanto entwickeltes und verkauftes Hormonpräparat zur Steigerung der Milchleistung. Monsanto argumentierte, dass durch diese Aussage sein Geschäft beeinträchtigt würde, da sie implizieren würde, Milch ohne rBST sei wertvoller. Das Verfahren wurde in einem außergerichtlichen Vergleich beendet. Oakhurst erkannte darin an, dass die FDA keinen qualitativen Unterschied zwischen der Milch behandelter und nicht mit rBST behandelter Kühe sieht. Außerdem verpflichtete es sich, zukünftig auf das Wort „used“ in der Aussage zu verzichten. Im Januar 2014 wurde das operative Geschäft von Dairy Farmers of America, dem größten Molkereiunternehmen der Vereinigten Staaten, übernommen. Neben Milch, Butter, Sauerrahm und Käse werden von dem Unternehmen auch Säfte, Eistee, Eierlikör und Wasser angeboten. Einzelnachweise
Ocean Gateway International Marine Passenger Terminal

The Ocean Gateway International Marine Passenger Terminal is a cruise ship terminal in Portland, Maine, United States. It was built in two phases: Phase 1 being a new terminal building that in 2008 replaced the original "International Marine Terminal" and phase 2 being a new berth and docking facility for large cruise ships known as Ocean Gateway Pier II. Plans for the new passenger terminal were made as early as 2003, when the Portland city council presented an early design for the facility, including two buildings — a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) receiving building and a 16,000-square-foot (1,500 m2) terminal building — built at the end of a pier. Construction began in September 2005, after the Reed and Reed construction company won the contract in June. The main terminal building is built over the water, and is a two-story structure, with customs facilities for international passengers on the first floor and a waiting area on the second. The terminal building is connected to the receiving building, located about 300 feet (90 m) away on shore, by a pair of pedestrian ramps. In addition to the receiving building, shore facilities include a 3.5-acre (1.4 ha) parcel of land for parking cars and boarding buses, both local and tour. Building the terminal facility cost about $20.5 million, of which $9 million came from a bond issue by the state of Maine, $6 million from the federal government and the remainder from a mix of local, state and federal sources. The building was formally opened on 2 May 2008 in a ceremony attended by about 200 people. Commercial shipping traffic began calling at the facility on 30 May, when The Cat, operated by Bay Ferries, began its seasonal service to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Ocean Gateway is also used as rental venue for functions such as weddings, conventions and other public events, a use which grew in importance after The Cat service was canceled following the 2009 season, which meant a loss to the city of Portland of $150,000 per year in rent which Bay Ferries paid for use of the facility. The city estimated that rentals brought in about $90,000 a year since the ferry service ended. The second phase of the terminal project is Ocean Gateway Pier II, a deep-water pier for large cruise ships that opened in September 2011, allowing more and larger cruise ships to dock in the city.

Odd Fellows Block (Lewiston, Maine)

The Odd Fellows Block is a historic commercial building at 182-190 Lisbon Street in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1876, it is an important early work of Lewiston architect George M. Coombs, then in partnership with William H. Stevens. It is a significant local example of commercial Victorian Gothic architecture, which typified Lewiston's downtown of the period. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Odd Fellows Block is located on Lisbon Street, Lewiston's principal commercial downtown thoroughfare, between Ash and Pine Streets. It is a three-story masonry structure, built of brick with stone trim. The facade is irregularly arranged, its nine bays articulated in a 2-3-1-3 pattern by stone piers on the first floor, and paneled brick pilasters at the upper levels. The storefronts feature wood paneling above and below plate glass windows, and recessed entrances. The upper levels are separated by a stone stringcourse, and feature sash windows set in pointed-arch openings with alternating stone and brick voussoirs, and stone keystones. A wooden cornice projects at the top. The building was constructed in 1876, originally to house retail space on the ground floor, and meeting facilities of the local chapter of the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). The IOOF hall was used by a large number of local organizations as a meeting space. The building was designed by George M. Coombs, then early in his long and prolific career, in partnership with William H. Stevens, who died in 1880. Architecturally, the building is typical of Lewiston's commercial buildings of the period, and is one of the few to survive from that time. References

Old Schoolhouse (York, Maine)

The Old Schoolhouse, also known as the York Corner Schoolhouse, is an historic one-room school building on the grounds of the Old York Historical Society at York and Lindsay Streets in York, Maine. Built in 1755, it is one of the oldest surviving schoolhouses in all of New England. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Description and history The Old Schoolhouse is located on the west side of Lindsay Street a short way south of its junction with York Street (United States Route 1A), just outside the center of the village of York. It stands adjacent to the Jefferds Tavern and the visitor center of the Old York Historical Society, which stands at the street corner. The schoolhouse is a small wood frame structure with a gable roof covered in wooden shingles, with exterior walls clad in clapboards. The interior is quite plain, with wide hand-planed floorboards, a fireplace at one end, a small section of plastered wall, and a few small windows. This schoolhouse was built in 1755 in the York Corner area to provide schooling for that area's children. The building's window openings were originally covered in oiled paper, which would have provided a limited amount of daylight. (The interior is currently lit by electric lights added by the museum.) It was rescued from demolition by the museum, its previous use having been as a chicken coop.

Old York Gaol

The Old York Gaol is a former colonial prison at Lindsay Road and Main Street (United States Route 1A) in York, Maine. Its oldest portion dating to about 1720, it is one of the oldest prison buildings in the United States, and one of the oldest public buildings in the state of Maine. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968. It is owned by the Museums of Old York and is open for tours between May and October. Description and history The gaol is a largely wood frame structure that has had a long evolutionary history of growth and change, and presently appears as a 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed structure that is partial clapboarded, with sections of stone wall. The oldest portion of the building, dating to 1719 or 1720, is a stone cell block containing a single cell, with stone walls 2.5 feet (0.76 m) thick lined on the inside with oak planking. About 1736 several first-floor chambers were added, including a kitchen, dining room, and parlor space that has a folding partition wall (added late in the 19th century), so that it be divided into two separate rooms. In c. 1763 the second floor was added, with three cells and a central chamber. One of the cells, surmised to be intended for use as a debtor's cell or warden's room, is of noticeably finer quality. Around the turn of the 19th century a second stone cell was added to the first floor, along with an extension including a dining room, parlor, and bedchamber for the warden. The original portion of the jail was constructed using timbers from the earlier York jail built in 1656. The building served as the official provincial jail for York County (then part of Massachusetts) until 1760, when it was turned over to the town of York. The building's last major enlargement was made in response to a demand for better conditions in debtor's prisons after an increase in debtors following the American Revolution. After 1879 the building was used as a school, warehouse, and boarding house until 1900 when it opened as a colonial museum of relics. The Old Gaol continues to be a museum and reflects the jail and jailer's quarters as they were in 1789.

Oquossoc Log Church

The Oquossoc Log Church (Oquossoc Union Church) is a historic non-denominational church on Maine State Route 4 in the Oquossoc village of Rangeley, Maine. Built in 1916, it is a unique structure, whose walls and major interior fixtures are all built out of spruce logs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Description and history The Oquossoc Log Church is set on the north side of Carry Road (Maine State Route 4), a short way east of its junction with Maine State Route 17 in the village of Oquossoc, which is at the northwest corner of Rangeley Lake. It is a rectangular log structure, with a hip roof and a projecting entry vestibule topped by a small tower. The entry vestibule is open to the south, fashioned out of vertically-placed logs, and topped by a roof section that steps back to the belfry stage of the tower, which has louvered rectangular sections. The tower is topped by a pyramidal roof with flared eaves. The walls are fashioned out of horizontally-placed logs up to the base of the sash windows, and then by vertically-arranged logs between the windows and the corners. The building's interior fixtures, including the pulpit and altar, are also fashioned from spruce logs. Funding for the church was raised by summer residents of the area in 1915, and construction of the building was completed in 1916 by Anson Hayford. Then as now, it provided summer residents a place to have non-denomination religious services. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Franklin County, Maine References
Orgonon

Orgonon was the 175-acre (71 ha) home, laboratory and research center of the Austrian-born psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957). Located in Rangeley, Maine, it is Reich's burial place, and is open to the public as the Wilhelm Reich Museum. Its main building, designed by James B. Bell and built for Reich in 1948, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as the Orgone Research Laboratory), and is a significant example of International Style architecture in the state. The name is derived from the hypostatized term "orgone", Reich's principal area of study in his later years. Facilities The Orgonon campus is set on about 175 acres (71 ha) of land west of the town center of Rangeley and north of Rangeley Lake, roughly midway between Rangeley and the village of Oquossoc. The property includes two major buildings and two cabins. Orgone Energy Observatory The main building is the Orgone Energy Observatory, and is where Reich did his research and had his office and library. It is a fieldstone structure, two stories high, with a flat roof. The International Style building was designed by New York City architect James B. Bell and completed in 1948. The roughly centered entry leads into a hallway, with Reich's laboratory on the right and a suite of rooms on the left that included a kitchen, bathrooms, and playroom for Reich's son. The upper level, accessed by stairs at the back of the hall, included a bathroom, office, and living quarters. The walls are finished in knotty pine throughout, with plywood ceilings and vinyl flooring. Conference center The conference center is an L-shaped wood-frame structure, built in 1945 and designated by Reich as the Students' Laboratory. It has been adapted for use by the museum to house its offices and meeting space. Cabins The property includes one cabin, which is seasonally available for rental. The cabin, named "Tamarack," has three bedrooms with a full kitchen, and is in a secluded setting somewhat apart from the main buildings. Tamarack was used by the immediate Reich Family as a residence, and the doctor stipulated that it should be made available to needy children. The trust managing the property donates use of this cabin for four weeks every summer to needy families.
