THE SITE OF THE NEW UNIVERSE
LIST CHURCH.
Ground has already been broken for the
| foundations Of the new Universalist
church and in looking at the site one of
our Oldest citizens who has lived in South
Portland for 4S years called to mind the
fact that years ago this spot was the
swimming place In summer and the
skating rink in winter for the youngsters
of many generations long since past. AT
one time this very corner was occupied
by Levi Strout's old brick yard and here
were manufactured the bricks which
were put into the head house, as It Ii
Familiarity known, at the Marine Rail.
way. Altogether 1t is an historic spot,
and the change in appearance which it IL
bound to undergo when the pretty church
the Universalists ore building receives
its finishing touches, win b. pleasure tc
the eyes Of every resident in this vicinity.
