Mystery Of the Old "Powder House" at
Halloweli Never Yet Has
Been Solved.

Founded on the immovable rocks Is
Hallowell powder house, overlooking
the little city nesting beneath some of
Names most beautiful hills
This old brick structure has its one
mysterious door barred with iron and
carved with cabalistic signs that reg.

No trace has ever been found of the
erection of this little building, which
has stood for two centuries as silent
sentinel over a peaceful and law-abid-
Ing community.

his father and brave wife had brought
with them from their Massachusetts
home in 1862, and turned it upside
down on the banks of the river for
their first shelter, with their one child.
the powder house on the heights was
standing there exactly as we see 1t
now. Its origin and architects are un-
known and unaccounted for and deep
mystery will always prevail around
Its existence. 1t Is landmark annu-
ally visited by hundreds who have
heard Of Its silent vigil on the rocky
heights of the Kennebec valley.
The name powder house was given
to 1t because 1t has always been used
as a depository for the highly COM
bustible ingredients of powder and
dynamite and from n has been given
the name of the rocky ledge, Powder
House hill. adjoining it.-Lewiston

require different posies, he said. "If
