Buck Memorial Library

The Buck Memorial Library is the public library of Bucksport, Maine. It is located at 47 Maine Street in the center of the town, in an architecturally distinguished Gothic Revival stone structure designed by George A. Clough and built in 1887. The building was a gift from the family of Richard Buck, a descendant of Bucksport founder Jonathan Buck, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Architecture and history The library association in Bucksport was founded in 1806, and operated for many years as a private subscription service, operated first out of private homes and later out of a small leased space just off Main Street. The need for larger and more permanent quarters in the 1880s prompted the drive that resulted in the construction of the present facilities. Richard Pike Buck, the grandson of Bucksport founder Jonathan Buck, promised funding for construction of a building and an endowment, but died before the gift was made. His wife and daughter saw through the donation. The building is a 1-1/2 story structure, fashioned out of rough-cut ashlar Blue Hill granite with dressed granite trim, and covered with a gabled slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a forward projecting gable end at the left, and the entrance located under a porch in the crook of the L. The interior, which has retained all of its original finishes and woodwork, and is laid out with the librarian's desk and office in the center, a reading room to the right, and the stack area to the left. The building is one of four small-town Maine libraries designed by Boston architect George A. Clough, who summered in his native Blue Hill.

Fairmount Cemetery (Presque Isle, Maine)

Fairmount Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Presque Isle, Aroostook County, Maine. It is the largest cemetery in northern Maine, with over 30 acres of dedicated land. It overlooks the University of Maine at Presque Isle campus in the south of the city. More than 6,000 people are interred in the cemetery, including over 700 veterans. The cemetery was established in 1864 as a burial place for area Civil War veterans and is managed by the Fairmount Cemetery Association. In 2009, a partnership began between the University of Maine at Presque Isle and the cemetery to create a database for historic, cultural, and social research that would be accessible via the Internet and use GPS and GIS technology. It involved at least five departments and multiple paid research assistants from the university. In 2012, upon completion of the project, a website was unveiled that produced a Web-based map of the cemetery, including detailed information on those interred. Among those buried at Fairmount Cemetery are the painter Lucy Hayward Barker and fashion designer Jessica McClintock.

The Governor Samuel Cony House also known as the William Payson Viles House, is an historic house at 71 Stone Street in Augusta, Maine. Built in 1846, it is a fine example of a Greek Revival house altered with Classical Revival features in the 20th century. It was home for 20 years to Samuel Cony, Governor of Maine from 1864 to 1867, and also his son-in-law, Joseph Homan Manley. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure, with a side gable roof. It is oriented with its main facade to the south, presenting a gable end to the street. That gable end is three bays wide, articulated by pilasters. The front is five bays wide, with the main entrance in the leftmost bay. It is set in a single-story projecting section, with a fully pedimented gable and entablature supported by paired columns, one a square paneled Doric column, the other a fluted round Ionic column. The interior retains most of its original woodwork. The house was built in 1846, and was from 1850 until his death in 1870 the home of Samuel Cony. Cony was long active in state politics, notably serving as Governor of Maine during the later years of the American Civil War. Following his death, it was home to Joseph Homan Manley, who had married his daughter. Manley was a prominent Republican political operative, who served in the state legislature. The house was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, a leading American architect of the period, with alterations made about 1930 by John P. Thomas.

Hawaii 2

Hawaii 2, også kendt under navnet Birch Island, er en privat ø i søen St. George Lake nær byen Liberty, Maine i USA. Den blev købt i oktober 2014 af Cards Against Humanity Den var udgangspunkt for en kampagne til fordel for Sunlight Foundation, en upolitisk nonprofit organisation, som agiterer for open government. Cards Against Humanitys medstifter Max Temkin udtalte, at selskabet omdøbte øen til Hawaii 2 fordi det er en ø i Maine (a Maine island). Selv om det er uvist, om den lokale regering har registreret navneforandringen officielt, findes Hawaii 2 på Google Maps, Bing Maps, og OpenStreetMap. Organisationen bag Cards Against Humanity forærede øen til 250.000 mennesker, som havde købt en såkaldt holiday mystery pack, 10 gaver for i alt 15 dollars, hvor den tiende og sidste gave var en andel i øen. Denne gestus førte til protester fra beboerne ved Lake St. George, som frygtede for konsekvenserne af en kvart million menneskers brug af søen. Cards Against Humanity erklærede, at selv om det var en form for joke, var det også et forsøg på at redde øen som fristed for kommende generationer. Referencer
South Paris station (Grand Trunk)

The South Paris station was a historic railroad station in South Paris, Maine. The station was built in 1883 by the Grand Trunk Railroad linking South Paris with Montreal and Portland, Maine. Trains began regular operation between Portland and the depot on the Paris side of the town line with Oxford at Widow Merrill's crossing October 8, 1849, even though the station was listed as "North Oxford" in timetables. The first train into South Paris village was a contractor's engine called the Jenny Lind on January 1, 1850. It ran carefully across temporary bridgework up to where the station was being built, as a means of satisfying the investors worries from Paris Hill to counter their threat of withdrawing their support and money if there was not a train in the village proper on that date (an engine operating by itself without cars met the ruling of a train). The Androscoggin bridge was completed March 15, 1850, with regular service to Portland from the present day station grounds to Portland beginning on the 18th. On December 30, 1879, the Norway Branch Railroad opened, running from Norway village on a line 1.45 miles long to connect with the Grand Trunk Railroad at South Paris.

Governor Brann School

The Governor Brann School is a historic school building on United States Route 1 in Cyr Plantation, Maine. It presently is used by the plantation as a polling station and meeting place. The school was named for Louis J. Brann, who was Governor of Maine at the time of its construction in 1934. It is the best-preserved of the community's former district school buildings; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Description and history The Brann School is set on the east side of United States Route 1, just south of its junction with Laplante Road. It is a small wood-frame structure with Craftsman styling. It is finished in wood shingles and has a hip roof. A shed-roof addition extends from the center of the northern facade. The main facade faces west, and is three bays wide, a pair of sash windows flanking the center entrance. The entrance is sheltered by a gable-roofed portico, supported by both large brackets and a pair of square posts. The porch roof, like that of the building, has exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style. The interior of the main block is a single room, with small closets on either side of the entrance, and doorways leading the northern addition, which originally housed pit toilets. The interior is finished in tongue-and-groove woodwork with a chair rail. Cyr Plantation was incorporated in 1870. The Governor Brann School, built in 1934, was the third built by the community for its third district. Due to declining population and school enrollment, the community closed three of its six schools in 1943, and the rest were closed in 1950, when its schools were consolidated with those of neighboring Van Buren. The design of this school was based on one of a series of plans developed by the Portland architectural firm Miller & Mayo pursuant to a state contract for designing model schools under a 1909 state law intended to improve the state's rural schools. This school building is one of a number of rural schools in the state built according to the same design.

Redwood (Bar Harbor, Maine)

Redwood is a historic summer house at 10 Barberry Lane in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States. Designed by William Ralph Emerson and built in 1879, it was the first Shingle style house built in Bar Harbor, and is one of the oldest of the style in the nation. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description Redwood is set near the southeastern end of Barberry Lane, south of the main village of Bar Harbor, on a point north of Cromwell Cove that overlooks Frenchman Bay. It is a large 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure with a roughly cruciform plan, set on a fieldstone foundation. It has a long north–south axis with roughly centered projections to the east (facing the water) and the west (facing toward the street). The western projection is gabled-roofed, with a second-floor chamber set above a porte-cochere which shelters the main entrance. To its right a tall two-story window rises to a small gabled peak, with an elaborately decorated brick Queen Anne style chimney to its right. The eastern projection has a polygonal shape, with a semi-pyramidal roofline. The southern elevation has a recessed Palladian window set in a half-timbered upper section. An enclosed single-story polygonal porch projects from the southeast corner of the building. The interior of the house is richly decorated with woodwork. History Bar Harbor began to develop a reputation as a summer resort area in the 1860s, with its early tourist trade served by local residents boarding visitors in their houses, and by hotels that were built to meet the demand. In the 1870s wealthy visitors began building private houses. C. J. Morrill, a wealthy Bostonian, commissioned William Ralph Emerson to design this house, which was completed in 1879. This was the first (of many) residential commission Emerson executed in the Bar Harbor area, and was his first full expression of the Shingle style, whose oldest known example is the 1875 William Watts Sherman House in Newport, Rhode Island, designed by H. H. Richardson. Later owners included J. Howland Auchincloss, whose son Louis Auchincloss was considered one of the inheritors of the Edith Wharton tradition in literature. In the 1940s, Mrs. Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, then known as Jaqueline Bouvier stayed at Redwood with her step-father Hugh Auchincloss.

Ambajejus Boom House

The Ambajejus Boom House is an historic logging facility in remote central Maine. Built in 1907 on a small island in Ambajejus Lake, it is the only surviving structure associated with the great logging drives that drove the economy of inland Maine for decades. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The building has been rehabilitated and can be visited by boat from various launch points on the lake. Description and history The boom house is a single-story wood frame structure, set on an island in the northwest corner of Ambajejus Lake, just south of where the West Branch Penobscot River enters the lake. It is about 100 feet (30 m) long and 15 feet (4.6 m) wide, and is divided into three sections. The central portion, which is the oldest part, has a gable roof with an attic area; the other two sections were likely added not long after the first section was built in 1907. The building is on a site where there has been a documented boom house since the 1830s, which was likely a facility mentioned by Henry David Thoreau in his writings about a trip to the area. The house is built at a strategic point in the movement of logs down river toward the paper mills of Millinocket. The island, along with a second one to the north, forms a choke point where a containment boom can be stretched across the river. The booms would be used to collect logs in large numbers, which would then be towed down the chain of lakes to North Twin Dam, where they would be released and sent further downriver. Log drives of this sort took place on the West Branch Penobscot until 1971. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Piscataquis County, Maine References
Claremont Hotel (Southwest Harbor, Maine)

The Claremont Hotel (referred to as The Claremont Hotel) is a historic hotel on Claremont Road in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Built in 1883, the main hotel building is one of the only 19th-century hotels to survive on Mount Desert Island. In 2020, Kennebunkport-based Claremont Hospitality LLC led by Tim Harrington, has acquired the hotel for an undisclosed price. Harrington has invested $20+ million in a nine-month redevelopment of the property which was completed in time for the 2021 summer season. The hotel facilities now include 34 guest rooms, four suites (in the Phillips House) and 12 cottages overlooking Somes Sound. It also has two restaurants and a bar. Main building The main building of the Claremont was built in 1883 by Jesse Pease, a retired sea captain, and was one of the first large hotels to be built on Mount Desert Island. It is a 3+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, finished in clapboards, with a cross-gabled hip roof and a stone foundation. The main (west-facing) facade is seven bays wide, with a simple port-cochere near the south end providing entrance to the building. A single-story porch wraps around the south and east facades (the latter facing Somes Sound). From the eastern facade a broad lawn extends down to the waterfront, where there is a boathouse. The interior has been modernized, but with attention to maintaining original Victorian features. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The building currently has 24 private rooms, as well as Xanthus, the hotel's restaurant. The hotel was run by Jesse Pease and his wife until his death in 1900. She continued to operate the hotel until her death in 1917, but sold the property in 1908 to Joseph Phillips, a local doctor. Phillips and later his son ran the property until 1971. Cabins The property includes fourteen cabins, sited to give views of Somes Sound. They are stylistically varied, with some built in the style of traditional Maine log cabins, and others in modern architectural styles. Most provide accommodations for up to four guests, although some only have space for two, and the Rowse House accommodates eight. The cottages are available between May and October for daily rentals; the Rowse House is rented by the week.

Concord Haven

Concord Haven, or the J. Leon Williams House, is a historic summer estate in Embden, Maine. Built in 1915, the house is a fine local example of Colonial Revival architecture, and is one of the only architect-designed buildings in the rural community. It was designed by John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens for local son James Leon Williams, noted for his advances in dentistry. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Description and history Concord Haven is located on 50 acres (20 ha) of mixed forest and agricultural land in northern Embden, just on the border with Concord Township. The house is set between Maine State Route 16 and the Kennebec River, with a commanding view of the latter. The main block is a rectangular wood-frame structure, oriented with the long axis north–south, with a hip roof topped by a widow's walk with balustrade. A two-story wing extends to the left (north), with a single-story wing extending further from that. A long single-story sunroom addition extends to the south. The west-facing facade is dominated by a two-story portico supported by paired Tuscan columns, under which is the main entrance, topped by a semi-elliptical fanlight window, and a second-floor veranda. This central portico is flanked on the first floor by picture windows with small side windows, and by paired sash windows on the second. The east (river-facing) facade has a broad veranda extending the width of the main block, and a two-story portico supported by fluted square columns, under which is a sitting area on the second level. James Leon Williams was born in Embden (in a farmhouse across Route 16 from this house) and trained as a dentist. Instead of practicing the craft, he engaged in research, furthering the understanding of the formation of dental enamel and the effects of bacteria on it. He also innovated in the production of dental prosthetics, and wrote many papers on dentistry-related subjects. Williams hired the noted Portland-based firm of John Calvin Stevens, then in partnership with his son John Howard Stevens to design his summer house. The house was, at the time of its listing on the National Register in 1992, the only major architect-designed building in Embden.

Gould House (Skowhegan, Maine)

The Gould House is a historic house at 27 Elm Street in Skowhegan, Maine. Built in 1887 by a prominent local lawyer and businessman, it is one of the finest examples of Queen Anne architecture in the interior of Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history The Gould House is set facing south on the north side of Elm Street, overlooking the Kennebec River. It is 2+1⁄2 stories in height, fashioned with brick and frame construction. The first floor and foundation are brick, and the upper floors are finished in decorative shingle siding. The asymmetrical massing is typical of the Queen Style, with an elaborately decorated single-story porch that curves around to the west side, and several different sizes and shapes of gables and projections from its roof.

A period carriage barn is attached to the north side of the house. The house was built in 1887 by Samuel Wadsworth Gould, a lawyer and hotel owner who opened his law practice in Skowhegan in 1880. He purchased the lot in 1885, then with a local tavern on it, moved it away, and had this house built. Gould, in addition to practicing law and owning a hotel, was politically active, winning election to the United States Congress for one term, and also running for Governor of Maine.
