Dyer Library

Dyer Library is a public library in Saco, Maine, United States. Funded by a bequest from Olive Dyer, the first home of the Dyer Library opened in 1881 in the basement of Saco City Hall. The library is located in the J.G. Deering House. History 1880-1900 The library was funded by a bequest from Olive Dyer in the name of her husband Oliver. The first home of the Dyer Library was created in the basement of Saco City Hall. A dirt floor was covered over in hard pine, and a furnace was added with many other additional pieces of furniture. Sarah W. Tucker was hired as the first librarian at a salary of $400 a year. The library was officially opened in spring, 1881. In 1893, the building shortly north of City Hall was constructed as the second home of the library. The interior was largely one open space, divided visually by a broad wooden double arch, originally described by Horace G. Wadlin. The front of the reading room contained an oak common table and a large open fireplace. The rear space housed shelf stacks. Funds for construction of the building were provided by Mrs. John C. Bradbury and George E. Means. Some time later, philanthropist Cornelius Sweetser left the Dyer Library $10,000 as a maintenance fund. 1955-1980 A half-century later in the former building, the Dyer Library moved north in 1955 to the former home of board president Frank Cutter Deering, next to the York Institute. In 1974, a new wing was added adjacent to Deering's huge flat-roofed parlor. It connected to the carriage house which providing new offices, and the Deering Room, Board Room, and what is now the Reed's Children's Room, was created with a bequest from Lillian Reed. In 1976, the Dyer Library and York Institute joined as the Dyer Library Association. The York Institute was later renamed as the Saco Museum. Within more recent years and due to their partnership of the two communities, the Dyer Library Association is now referred to as Dyer Library/Saco Museum. 1995-present The museum and library receive about 60 percent of funding from the City of Saco. In the Children's Room of the Dyer Library, the employees and director have been allowing children to make their own crafts for the library for many years. As of recently, the Dyer Library allows children to decorate a tree for the Festival of Trees at the Saco Museum yearly. In September 2018, the Dyer Library was robbed and burglarized. Miscellaneous amounts of cash went missing and doors were tampered with and damaged. During the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the Dyer Library was closed until the beginning of June. A mask mandate was in place until June 2021. The mask mandate was put back into effect in August due to rising cases in Maine, but was removed in the early spring of 2022. On 14 November 2024, the Dyer Library hosted a book signing for author and radio personality Jon Shannon, promoting his book "The Longest Summer." References External links Official website

The Westin Portland Harborview

The Westin Portland Harborview is a historic hotel at 157 High Street in Portland, Maine, United States. History The hotel was developed by Henry P. Rines, a Portland hotelier. Designed by Portland architect Herbert W. Rhodes, it opened in 1927 as The Eastland, the largest hotel in New England. Aviator Charles Lindbergh stayed at The Eastland after returning from his historic solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1946, the hotel gained attention when it refused to allow former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to stay with her dog, Fala, for the night. She instead stayed at the Royal River Cabins in Yarmouth. In 1961, The Eastland was bought by the Dunfey family. In 1965, they made it a Sheraton Hotels franchise operation, and it was renamed the Sheraton-Eastland Motor Hotel. The hotel left Sheraton in 1974 and became the Eastland Motor Hotel. It was sold in 1980 and renovated. While undergoing renovations, it suffered a fire in November 1981, resulting in the destruction of the hotel's ballroom, which was being used to store bedding and furniture for the renovated guest rooms. The hotel was renamed the Sonesta Portland Hotel in 1983. It left Sonesta in January 1995 and was briefly renamed the Eastland Plaza Hotel, only to become the Radisson Eastland Hotel Portland six months later, in July 1995. Following a 1997 sale of the property, the hotel left Radisson in December 1999 amid legal disputes and was renamed the Eastland Hotel. Following a foreclosure sale in 2000, its name was modified slightly to the Eastland Park Hotel. It kept that name through a 2004 renovation until it closed in 2011. The hotel was completely gutted and rebuilt as a modern business hotel and reopened as The Westin Portland Harborview on December 12, 2013.

Eaton House (Wells, Maine)

The Eaton House is an historic house on Sanford Road in Wells, Maine. Built in the late 18th century, it is one of a collection of well-preserved 18th-century Cape style houses in Wells. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, listed as being in the North Berwick area. However, it is physically located in the town of Wells. Description and history The Eaton House is set on the north side of Sanford Road (Maine State Route 109), just west of the High Pine Baptist Church in northwestern Wells. The main block is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney and clapboard siding. Attached ells extend to the west, joining the house to a barn. The front entrance is simply styled, with sidelight windows. The chimney supports three fireplaces, and there is a stairway leading to the attic that has an original banister. The town of Wells, Maine is located in York County on the coast of southern Maine. Wells was settled in the 1640s, and was from its earliest days a primarily agrarian settlement, while neighboring York and Kennebunkport developed economically around fishing, lumber, and seagoing merchant activity. Growth in the 17th century was limited by a series of French and Indian Wars. As the area was resettled in the 18th century, Wells again developed only slowly, because of its lack of harbor facilities, and remained an agricultural area with a low population density. This rural setting allowed a larger number of these older humble farmsteads to survive. This house is believed to have been built in the late 18th century by one of the first families to settle the area, although deed research has only identified owners to 1854, when it was sold by Nason Hatch.

Edward Little High School

Edward Little High School is a public high school in Auburn, Maine, United States. The school was established in 1835 as Lewiston Falls Academy after philanthropist Edward Little donated 9 acres (3.6 ha) and considerable money to the academy, which was named in his honor. The school is now situated on a 56.25-acre (22.76 ha) tract of land overlooking the city from the top of Goff Hill in Auburn Heights. History 19th century The school was first commissioned by the Maine State Legislature as Lewiston Falls Academy. Little contributed numerous resources to the school, including land and money. It was renamed to the Edward Little Institute in September 1849. When the City of Auburn was given control over the school in April 1874, it came with the condition that the school always be named in honor of Edward Little. In December 1884, the school was damaged by a fire. Newspaper accounts reported the building that cost $18,000 to build was insured for $6,000. The school suffered another fire this one destroyed the entire third floor in 1943. 20th century In the early 1930s, a second building was erected. In 1961, the building formerly used as Edward Little High School was completed at a cost of US$1.9 million. 21st century In June 2009, the school was placed on probation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Reasons cited for this probation included "the poor and inadequate condition of the school's kitchen facility...the insufficient heating system," and low funding for educational resources and technology. In 2023, the construction of a replacement building reached completion, opening for the 2023-24 school year. The former building has since been demolished. Athletics The school's sports teams are known as the Red Eddies, with the ghost of Edward Little as their mascot. The school competes as a member of the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference. The school's most successful teams in recent years include Alpine ski racing, soccer, basketball, and track and field. Other sports include soccer, baseball, cheerleading, cross country running, football, lacrosse, swimming, ice and field hockey, and tennis. Notable alumni Charles B.

Edward Little House

The Edward Little House is an historic house at 217 Main Street in Auburn, Maine. Built in 1827, the Federal style house is one of the oldest on the south side of Auburn, and is most notable as the home of Edward Little, a major landowner and proponent of the development of Auburn. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Description and history The Edward Little House stands on the west side of Main Street, south of Auburn's downtown area, at the corner of Vine Street. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a center entry flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight. A two-story ell extends from the southern part of the rear. The interior is well preserved, its Federal period details including a handsome curving central staircase. The interior has a typical center hall layout, with a double parlor on the right and a large dining room on the left. The sections of the parlor are separated by an elaborately carved archway. The house was built in 1827 by Edward Little, a native of Newbury, Massachusetts who moved here in 1826 and spent the rest of his life here. He was the beneficiary of a large land inheritance, which originally include significant holdings in Auburn, Lewiston, and surrounding communities. Little was well known for the many gifts he made to the growing community, supporting both religious and civic institutions.

Egg Rock Light (Maine)

Egg Rock Light is a lighthouse on Frenchman Bay, Maine. Built in 1875, it is one of coastal Maine's architecturally unique lighthouses, with a square tower projecting through the square keeper's house. Located on Egg Rock, midway between Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula, it is an active aid to navigation, flashing red every 40 seconds. The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Egg Rock Light Station in 1988. Description and history The Egg Rock Light Station consists of two buildings, a combination light tower and keeper's house, and a fog station building. The keeper's house is a roughly square 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame building, with a hip roof pierced by dormers on all four sides. The painted brick tower, 40 feet (12 m) high, rises through the center of the house. The light is a VRB-25 aerobeacon, mounted in a 1986 replacement lantern house. It is configured to flash red every 40 seconds. The fog station is a brick structure southwest of the main building, with a gable-on-hip roof. The Egg Rock light originally was fitted with a fifth-order Fresnel lens. The fog station (originally steam-powered) was added in 1904. The station was automated by the United States Coast Guard in 1976, at which time its ancillary structures except the fog station were torn down. The lantern house was removed and the light was replaced by the present aerobeacon. After public protest, a replacement lantern house was installed in 1986. The light continues to be managed by the Coast Guard, and is not open to the public; the island and buildings are owned by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
