Arenan byggdes 1977 till en kostnad av 8 miljoner dollar och är hemmaarena för Portland Pirates i American Hockey League. Det finns 6 733 fasta platser i arenan och det plats för upp till 9 500 åskådare för konserter. Interiören består av läktare i ett plan med 24 rader, 14 platser i bredd och 30 separata sektioner runt. Arenagolvet har en yta på 3 210 kvadratmeter vilket gör den användbar för mässor och kongresser samt sport och konserter. Arenans officiella namn är George I. Lewis Auditorium på Cumberland County Civic Center. Pressläktaren är namngiven efter den lokala sportreporterlegenden Frank Fixaris. ZZ Top var den första artisten att framträda på Civic Center när de närvarade på invigningen den 3 mars 1977. I oktober 2010 röstade en arbetsgrupp för att finansiera renoveringar för mellan 27 och 29 miljoner dollar. Renoveringarna inkluderade tillägg av VIP-platser, uppgraderingar av omklädningsrum, ett ökat antal toaletter och andra förbättringar. Renoveringarna skulle tillföra drygt 3 200 kvadratmeter till byggnaden. Om förslaget godkändes av Civic Centers styrelse skulle den finansieras av county-obligationer. Obligationen godkändes av countyts väljare i november 2011. Renoveringar började efter ishockeysäsongen 2011/2012. Efter slutförandet av Portland Pirates 2012/2013-säsong stängde arenan för en andra renoveringsfas, och planerades att öppna i januari 2014. Pirates spelade den första delen av säsongen 2013/2014 i Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston. Alla renoveringar slutfördes i februari 2014, och den första händelsen i anläggningen var Maine Home, Remodeling and Garden Show lördagen den 15 februari 2014.

All Souls Congregational Church (Bangor, Maine)

All Souls Congregational Church is an historic church at 10 Broadway in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1911, it is a landmark in the city, designed by the noted proponent of the Gothic Revival, Ralph Adams Cram. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The church is affiliated with the United Church of Christ; the current pastor is Rev. Chad L. Poland. Architecture and history The All Souls Church is located on the fringe of downtown Bangor, on a rise east of Kenduskeag Stream that overlooks the central business district. It occupies an entire city block, bounded by State, French, and York Streets, and by Stetson Square and Broadway to the east. The main sanctuary is a cruciform stone structure, with its long axis oriented east–west, with the chancel set at the western end. It has a steeply pitched gabled roof, with a relatively slender tower set at the crossing. A shorter square bell tower is set at the southeast corner of the crossing. The main facade faces east, and has a center entrance set in an arched recess, with a large rose window above. The building's corners and side walls are buttressed. The First Congregational Church first built on this site in 1822. That building burned down in 1830, and was replaced by a building designed by Charles Pond. This was replaced in 1859 by a structure designed by Harvey Graves in 1859, using the foundation of the previous building. The Graves church burned down in the Great Fire of 1911. The First Congregation then joined forces with the Third Congregation, whose 1902 church was also destroyed in the fire, to build a new church on the site of the First's old one. They commissioned the noted Gothic Revival proponent Ralph Adams Cram to design the building, which incorporates stone elements of the Third's building. It was built at a cost of $110,000. Its stained glass windows, designed by Boston stained glass artist Charles J. Connick, were added between 1913 and 1947. The building was expanded in 1953–54 with the addition of a school building, designed by local architect Eaton W. Tarbell. This addition was designed in a modernist style but was intended to harmonize with and defer to the original building. It is now named for Arlan A. Baillie.

Chicago Bulls player Dennis Rodman attended the show and during the climax of "Alive", came onstage to offer Vedder some red wine. To the excitement of the crowd, Vedder responded by hopping on Rodman's back and riding him piggyback style across the stage while singing. Rodman later received a Walkman carved with Vedder's initials containing the concert recording and cited this as one of his most thrilling experiences.

Baxter Building (Portland, Maine)

The Baxter Building is a historic building located at 619 Congress Street in downtown Portland, Maine. Completed in 1888, it served as the Portland Public Library from its founding until 1978, when the Library moved to another location on Congress Street. The building went unused from 1978 to 1983, when it was purchased by the Maine College of Art (MECA). MECA utilized the space for studio space, dark rooms, as a computer lab and library. In 2010, MECA sold the building to Northland Enterprises LLC, which then leased it to the VIA Group. The building was designed by local architect Francis H. Fassett. It was built in the Romanesque Revival style which was prominent during the mid-19th century. It was updated in 1928 by Portland architect John Calvin Stevens. In February 2010, the building was renovated based on designs from local firms Scott Simons Architects and Archetype Architects, which was partially funded through a $272,000 tax break from the City Council as well as through federal historical tax credits.

Bradford Peck House

The Bradford Peck House is a historic house at 506 Main Street in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1893, it is an unusual example of a rambling and asymmetrical Colonial Revival house. It was designed by local architect George M. Coombs and built for Bradford Peck, owner of Peck's Department Store, one of the largest such stores in New England. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It now houses professional offices. Description and history The Bradford Peck House stands on the west side of Main Street, roughly 1 mile (1.6 km) north of downtown Lewiston, an area that was historically a fashionable residential area. It is a 2+1⁄2-story clapboarded wood-frame structure, with a hip roof topped by a flat balustraded widow's walk. Its asymmetrical massing and projecting elements are reminiscent of the Queen Anne style, but the details are essentially Colonial Revival in character. The roof line has a modillioned eave, and the building corners are pilastered. A rounded section projects from the northeast corner, and a porch extends along the south side, supported by fluted Ionic columns. The house was designed by local architect George M. Coombs, and was built in 1893 for Bradford Peck. Peck was a Massachusetts native who moved to Lewiston in 1883, purchased a dry goods business in 1885, and renamed it B. Peck & Co. in 1890. In addition to having Coombs design his house, Peck also commissioned Coombs to design his department store building, a four-story Romanesque building at the corner of Lisbon and Main Streets. Peck's was said to be the largest department store outside Boston, with forty departments displaying all manner of merchandise. Peck's house remained in residential use until 1985, and now houses professional offices. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Androscoggin County, Maine References

Harrington Meeting House

The Harrington Meeting House is a historic colonial meeting house at 278 Harrington Road in Bristol, Maine. Built in 1772 and moved to its present site in 1775, it is one of the town's original three meeting houses. It contains a small museum of old photographs, clothing, and books. The adjoining cemetery has gravestones of historical interest. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Harrington Meetinghouse in 1970. History When Bristol was settled the land area was larger than today and the distance required to travel to the meeting house was such that three meeting houses were built to serve the Presbyterian population, the others being at Broad Cove (destroyed) and the Walpole Meetinghouse. The framing for the Harrington meeting house was originally erected in the village of Bristol Mills in 1772 but was "pulled down" and re-erected at the head of John's Bay in 1773. Bristol voters accepted all three meeting houses in 1775. In about 1850 the building was moved several hundred yards to its current location and the interior altered. The interior was made into a "back to" or "reverse plan" arrangement which means the entry doors are behind the pulpit. The windows and doors were changed and a cove, plaster ceiling installed. John Johnston's A History of Bristol and Bremen indicated that the original meeting house had been destroyed, but in 1960 Ilonka Fertig spearheaded a repair of the existing meeting house only to find evidence the building was the original meeting house from 1772. By 1970 they mostly restored the building to its original configuration, but the pews were left out of the gallery which now houses museum displays and the plaster ceiling was left out to allow a view of the unusual roof framing. Description The roof framing consists of king post trusses with a double top chord (or top chord and rafter). This type of king post truss is rare but other examples have been noted in such as in the 1714 Lynnfield, Massachusetts meeting house, 1800 Congregational Church in Windham, Vermont, and the 1799 Strafford, Vermont meeting house.

Howard C. Reiche Community School

The Howard C. Reiche Community School is an elementary school in the West End of Portland, Maine. The school building was constructed in the 1970s and opened in 1973. It replaced the nearby Butler School, which had been in operation since 1879. Buildings in a four-block area were demolished to make room for the school and playground, which was built according to an open-plan design. The two-story building, occupying 5.2 acres (2.1 ha), was designed for 371 students. It was designed by Portland architect Wilbur R. Ingalls Jr. and named for Howard Charles Reiche Sr., former principal of Portland High School. As of 2004, the school was the main elementary school for English as an additional language (ESL) students in the Portland Public Schools. ESL instruction began at Reiche in 1981 in response to an influx of Asian immigrants in the school's neighborhood after Portland's designation in 1980 as a refugee resettlement city. As of 2004 there were 515 students in the school, of whom 60 percent were from ethnic or linguistic minority groups and of whom 88 percent received free or reduced-price lunches. The students spoke 27 different languages other than English in their homes, including Arabic, Spanish, Somali, Khmer, Vietnamese, Serbo-Croatian, and Acholi. There were about 300 students enrolled for the 2010–2011 school year. A branch library of the Portland Public Library was located in Reiche School from 1974 until 2010, when the library branch closed. Its space is now occupied by a new community policing center. The building also houses a community health clinic, a community swimming pool, a community gym and locker rooms, and other community center facilities. In 1991–1992, Reiche School was designated a Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. In both 2003 and 2004 it was listed as failing to meet federal standards under the No Child Left Behind program. After the initial listing was announced in 2003, Reiche's "failing" rating was criticized by the principal of another Portland elementary school, located in an affluent neighborhood, that had been identified as one of Maine's best-performing schools. Longfellow School principal Dawn Carrigan was quoted in the Bangor Daily News comparing her school's results with Reiche's and stating her opinion that "there is no good reason to create public lists that compare schools, particularly when students come from different backgrounds." In subsequent years, Reiche school succeeded in getting off the "failing" list by making Adequate Yearly Progress. In June 2011, Reiche announced it would become a teacher-led school, forgoing the more common principal leadership. It became one of the few schools in Maine to try the model.

James C. Lord House

The James C. Lord House is a historic house in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1885 for a prominent local businessman, it is a high quality blend of late 19th-century architectural styles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The Lord House stands north of downtown Lewiston, on a slight rise at the southeast corner of Main Street (United States Route 202 and Maine State Route 100). It is a 2+1⁄2-story masonry structure, built out of red brick with granite trim. The house is roughly T-shaped, with a polychrome slate roof that is gabled in the side ends and hipped at the rear. The roof is pierced on several elevations by gabled dormers, and a three-story tower projects from the front, capped by a pyramidal roof. A single-story porch extends across the full width of the front; it has square posts rising to arched openings, with low balustrades between. Windows have granite sills and lintels, and there are paired brackets in the corners of the eaves. A period carriage house, also built of brick, stands behind the house. The house was built in 1885 to a design by Jefferson L. Coburn, a local architect from whom only a few designs are known. Its massing is typical of the Queen Anne style, but its design includes elements of Gothic, Italianate, and Stick styles. The house was built for James C. Lord, a prominent local business man who operated a dry goods business at 379 Lisbon Street. The house was purchased in 1920 by Timothy Callahan, a prominent local politician.
