| The handsome large gilded eagle
that adorns the north face Of the First
National block at Bath 100 years ago
or so was placed by Names first Gov
ernor, William King on the old customs
house that stood on the same site, we
are informed by our esteemed fellow
townsman William D. Mussenden. one
of the oldest living native sons of Bath,
says the Times. When the old North
church building was erected on the
present site the home Of Hon. A. H.
Shaw, the Governor was insistent upon
the church facing the river, whereas it
was built to face High street instead.
This action made the doughty Governor
wrathy and he threatened to take his
bird" the eagle, from the wall Of the
customs house and also to fecede from
membership in the church. which later
he did and with others built the Old
South which was burned by the mob
in Know Nothing times The eagle
however was left undisturbed on the
ancient brown building and when it
was taken down with the construction
OF the present Bank Block it was re-
guided and placed in its present eyrie.
