<p>The Lakewood Theater is a theater complex at 76 Theatre Road in Madison, Maine, on the shores of Lake Wesserunsett. Founded in 1898 but only properly developed in 1901, it is one of the oldest summer theaters in the United States. The theater was in the 1920s and 1930s one of the major off-Broadway stops, and now plays host the community theater productions of Curtain Up Enterprises. The main auditorium is located on a former 1882 religious camp meeting sanctuary that was extensively altered in 1925-26 to accommodate the theater. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lakewood Theater complex is set on the western shore of Lake Wesserunsett, off United States Route 201 in eastern Madison. The main theater building is a 2-1/2 story Colonial Revival wood frame structure with a gable roof. A two-story porch extends across much of the front, with square paneled posts and diamond-pattern balustrade.</p><br>
<p>The property on which the theater is built was part of a larger resort area developed by owners of the areas trolley car network to draw people to use their facilities. This particular property was where in 1882 a religious camp meeting sanctuary was built, which forms the core of the theater building. In 1884 this building was converted into a skating rink, and in 1898 its use as a theater began. The theaters rise in prominence began in 1901, when Herbert Swett took over its management, and oversaw improvements to its physical plant over a 20-year tenure. By the mid-1920s, when the building achieved its present form, the theater was a major tryout location for Broadway shows. After World War II, these types of shows declined, and the theater has since then primarily shown touring productions. Numerous famous actors, including Vincent Price, Ethel Barrymore, and George M. Cohan have graced its stage.</p><br>
<p>Playwright John B. Hymer was known as the mayor of Lakewood and collaborated with fellow playwright Samuel Shipman in Lakewood. He also built Colony House there in 1929. His son Warren Hymer stayed with him and went on to a career as a movie actor.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>In order to stimulate passenger traffic, many systems at the turn of the century participated in the development of amusement centers in scenic locations along their lines, particularly at terminal points. This was &#39;the great age of the trolley car and this form of transportation became, for a time, a major recreational outlet.</p><br>
<p>Such a park was developed in 1895 in Lakewood Grove on the shore of Lake Wesserunsett by the Somerset Traction Company of Skowhegan, Maine. Along with other amusement features it established in 1898 the Lakewood Theater which between 1925 and 1941 became the most important summer theater in the country.</p><br>
<p>Its rise to eminence was started by Herbert L. Swett, a young man who, in 1901, became manager and started to develop an organization and physical plant that was to become the premier summer theater for two decades with the most prolonged ongoing record of summer seasons in America. From the 1920s until World War II it was the major tryout theater for potential Broadway productions and became known as “Broadway in Maine.”</p><br>
<p>The war created an interim cessation of productions in 1943 and 1944. But from 1945 to the present, the Lakewood Theater completed the transition so typical in summer theaters from a resident stock company to the “package” system with a new cast every week.</p><br>
<p>The theater and resort aspects of Lakewood are closely related; the theater making the resort unique and the attractions of the resort making it possible to bring fine actors to Maine and draw theater patrons to Lakewood Grove for forty-five years. This felicitous partnership has made Lakewood the subject of much attention by the press and noted theater critics and commentators.</p><br>
<p>Famous names in the annals of the American stage have been intimately connected with the history of Lakewood. In 1925 Howard Lindsay became director and helped to create through his talents and New York contacts the national reputation which the theater achieved. Stars like Dorothy Stickney and Walter Hampden began to grace the Lakewood Stage to be followed by George M. Cohan, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Vincent Price, Ethel Barrymore and many others who acted with the resident company.</p><br>
<p>Lakewood was the scene of premiere performances of numerous later Broadway hits as well</p><br>
<p>which includes "Life With Father".</p><br>
<p>In recent years its stage has been graced by a host of stars and personalities from Broadway and Hollywood. The trolley cars have long since passed from the scene but the footlights at Lakewood continue to illuminate the theatrical tradition they began.</p><br>
<p>No other playhouse more justly deserves the reputation of being the first summer theater in America. It was the wellspring of a theatrical tradition now firmly implanted on the American cultural scene.</p><br>

<p>Huggins-Stengel Field  is a baseball field located within Crescent Lake Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States. It was originally constructed in 1925 as a Spring Training practice field for the New York Yankees and later hosted the New York Mets and Baltimore Orioles.

The field is currently used for various high school and collegiate baseball games. The facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Yankees era</h3><br>
<h4>1925-1942</h4><br>
<p>The New York Yankees christened the facility in 1925 under manager Miller Huggins. Supposedly, they had moved from their previous home in New Orleans to keep Babe Ruth&#39;s partying tendencies in check. After the passing of their great manager, the field was renamed Miller Huggins Field in 1931. Featured during this time were Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio.</p><br>
<h4>World War II</h4><br>
<p>When World War II came to the forefront, travel restrictions became an issue, so the Yankees decided to practice in Atlantic City for the next few years, returning to Crescent Lake in 1946.</p><br>
<h4>1946-1961</h4><br>
<p>After things had calmed from the war, the New York Yankees would return to Crescent Lake and continue their tenure in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Yankees played their home spring training games at Al Lang Stadium beginning in 1947. During the majority of this time period, they were led by manager Casey Stengel, who would lead the club to many championships throughout the 1950s. Players during this era were Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, and top Yankees prospect John Malangone during 1955 spring training. The team moved its spring operations to Fort Lauderdale, Florida following the 1961 season.</p><br>
<h3>Mets era</h3><br>
<h4>1962-1987</h4><br>
<p>The newly created New York Mets would take over operations in Crescent Lake under their newly hired manager Casey Stengel, and in 1963, the field was renamed Huggins-Stengel Field. Like their predecessors, they&#39;d practice in Crescent Lake, then play their games a couple miles down the road at Al Lang Stadium.</p><br>
<h3>Orioles era</h3><br>
<h4>1992-1995</h4><br>
<p>After a short absence of baseball, the field found a new tenant in the Baltimore Orioles in 1992. Unfortunately, the facility was well past its prime at this point. Former Orioles pitcher Rick Sutcliffe noted that the locker room was reminiscent to that of a high school locker room. The team did not stay long, playing its last Spring there in 1995, which would be the end of Spring Training baseball at Huggins-Stengel Field.</p><br>
<h2>Folklore</h2><br>
<h3>Alligators</h3><br>
<p>Story has it that during the first day of practice in 1925, Babe Ruth refused to continue shagging fly balls because alligators had begun to sunbathe along the bank of the lake, which happened to be part of the outfield. Understandably, no player would want to have a close encounter with an alligator while picking up a baseball, so it is understood why he made this protest. In today&#39;s rendition of the park, there is a wall separating players from the edge of the lake, reducing the risk of alligator attacks.</p><br>
<h3>Home runs</h3><br>
<p>Supposedly, only two players are known to have hit a home run that dropped straight into Crescent Lake: Babe Ruth of the Yankees and Dave Kingman of the Mets. This is considered an incredible feat because the lake lies over 500 feet from home plate.</p><br>
<p>Darrell Johnson, former teammate of Mickey Mantle&#39;s, swears he saw Mickey routinely hit batting practice balls into the lake beyond the right field fence.</p><br>
<p>Darryl Strawberry earned the nickname "Awesome Strawsome" from teammate Lenny Dykstra after taking Bob Forsch deep for a home run to center field. This was notable due to the deep dimensions of the field and the height of the fence being around 15 feet.</p><br>
<h3>Myths</h3><br>
<p>People say that the field is haunted by the ghosts of past players.</p><br>
<p>Some people say that the day after Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle died, a brown patch appeared in center field, where they both used to play.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The field no longer sees action from Major League Baseball, but still holds practices and games for high school and collegiate teams. There is not much seating, as there are currently only two sets of bleachers, but the nostalgic atmosphere makes a visit very worthwhile. The old clubhouses now serve as offices for TASCO, Teens Arts, Sports, and Cultural Opportunities, a local recreation program. While it is not considered a historical site, some remnants from the old clubhouse are still visible, including an old wooden locker and photographs.</p><br>
<p>The field has had some work done to it, but it still possesses its original dimensions and has not been raised or lowered like many renovated fields. It is essentially the same turf that the legends played on for the last 90 years.</p><br>

<p>The Japanese Hydro-electric Power Plant is a former hydroelectric power generation plant and historic site in Kolonia, the capital of Pohnpei State in the Federated States of Micronesia. The site is historically and culturally important as a representative of three different eras in the island&#39;s history. The site is important in the culture of Pohnpei as a location of high-quality stones gathered for use in ritual ceremonies involving the pounding of kava and drinking preparations from the plant. In the early 1900s, when Pohnpei was administered as part of German New Guinea, the German administration established an experimental forest, planting a diversity of trees from around the world, some of which continue to thrive in the area. Finally, in the 1920s, during the Japanese South Seas Mandate, a hydroelectric facility was built here. When the property was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1976  the concrete power plant building and water catchment basin survived.</p><br>
<p>The Tufts House is a historic house on United States Route 2 in Farmington, Maine. Built in 1810, it is one of the few brick buildings of the period in the region, and is a little-altered example of fine Federal style architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Tufts House is set on the north side of US Route 2, a few miles southeast of the center of Farmington and a short way east of the road&#39;s junction with Dump Road. The house is a -story structure, predominantly fashioned from brick laid in Flemish bond. The gable ends of the half story are framed in wood and clapboarded. The house has a side gable roof with chimneys just inside either side. The front (south-facing) facade is five bays wide, symmetrically arranged, with the entrance set in an arched opening at the center. The entry is framed by delicately-carved woodwork and topped by a semi-oval transom window. The cornice line of the roof is finished with dentil moulding.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1810 by Francis Tufts, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who hailed from Medford, Massachusetts and was one of Farmington&#39;s first proprietors. He first moved to the area 1780, living in a log house until 1781, when he built a frame house. In 1790 he negotiated the purchase of the territory that became Farmington, and was the owner of one of its early mills. He built this house, supposedly from bricks manufactured from clay gathered from the banks of the nearby Sandy River. The house has been little altered since its construction, the only significant alteration being the replacement of its windows. The house is an unusually fine example of Federal architecture for a comparatively remote and rural setting.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Starr Dunham House is a historic house at 418 Broadway in Van Buren, Arkansas. Built c. 1870, this -story wood-frame house is a fine local example of Gothic Revival architecture, with a steeply-pitched side-gable roof that has front-facing gable dormers decorated with sawn woodwork, and a full-width front porch with spiral posts and delicate brackets. Joseph Starr Dunham, the owner, was a Connecticut native who settled in Van Buren in 1859 and began publishing the Van Buren Press; the house was still in family hands when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Carrington House is a bungalow located in the hamlet of Cherry Grove, New York. Built around 1912, it was one of the first buildings in Cherry Grove and constructed for Frederick Marquet. It is typical of early buildings on Fire Island. It was acquired by theater director Frank Carrington in 1927, who enlarged the house. Under his ownership, the house was a popular refuge for LGBT artists like Truman Capote; Breakfast at Tiffany&#39;s was written there.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fire Island is a barrier island off the southern shore of Long Island in New York. In 1869, the Long Island Rail Road expanded to Patchogue, across the bay from Fire Island. The first settlement on the island was Cherry Grove. Ferries were built to accommodate visitors, and by the early twentieth century, Fire Island hosted several resorts. Middle-class families built small vacation cottages like the Carrington House. In the 1920s, Fire Island became a popular destination for the gay population of New York City. The isolation of the island made it an ideal retreat to escape the crowds of the city.</p><br>
<p>Frank Carrington was born in 1894 and had been interested in the theater from a young age. He became a theater director and co-founded the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City. He began his greatest work, the creation of Millburn&#39;s Paper Mill Playhouse, in 1934. In 1927, he purchased this cottage on Fire Island from Frederick Marquet, a fellow resident of Millburn, New Jersey. At the time, the cottage was a rectangular, three bay bungalow. Carrington made two wood-frame additions around 1940. In the 1940s, he allegedly purchased two outbuildings from a nearby Lifesaving Station and added them to the property.</p><br>
<p>Carrington was active in the growing arts community of Cherry Grove. He rented the property to his friends in the community, including Truman Capote. In 1957, Capote developed a novella there that would become Breakfast at Tiffany&#39;s. Other guests included New York City Ballet co-founder Lincoln Kerstein, fashion designer Bill Blass, actor Henry Fonda, actress Gertrude Lawrence, and actress Katharine Hepburn.</p><br>
<p>Carrington owned the house for almost fifty years, then sold it to the US government as part of Fire Island National Seashore under the condition that he be able to live there for the rest of his life; he died on July 3, 1975. National Park Service Ranger Bob Freda lived there for the next twenty years. The Carrington House is probably the oldest surviving building in Cherry Grove. It was recognized with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on January 8, 2014. It is one of five sites so recognized due for its role in LBGT history, although almost 400 other candidates have been identified.</p><br>
<p>The Cherry Grove Community House and Theatre is a historic building in Cherry Grove, New York. It played an important part in the development of Cherry Grove as an LGBT town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fire Island is a barrier island off the southern shore of Long Island in New York state. In 1869, the Long Island Rail Road expanded to nearby Patchogue, initiating settlement on Fire Island. Ferries were built to accommodate visitors, and by the early nineteenth century, Fire Island hosted several resorts, including Cherry Grove. By the late 1920s, the island was a popular and welcoming destination for the LGBT community.</p><br>
<p>Cherry Grove formed a homeowners association as a de facto government of the unincorporated community. In 1944, this group met at Duffys Hotel to become the Cherry Grove Property Owners Association, which featured committees on finance, art, the beach, and fire prevention. At a meeting of this group on September 29, 1945, members agreed to a plan to purchase a carriage house to convert to a community house. Following renovations, a meeting on January 25, 1946 established a board of directors, including association president Earl Blackwell. The community house was used for municipal government, including elections. It also hosted social activities, such as religious functions and fairs. Residents donated goods for use in the building.</p><br>
<p>At a September 1948 board meeting, the Property Owners Association founded an "Artistic Activity Group." This group held theatrical performances at the community house; at the time, live theater was otherwise absent from the island. Saturday night shows became regular to meet demand. Veteran theater performers and directors such as Frank Carrington (founder of the Paper Mill Playhouse), Cheryl Crawford (co-founded the Actors Studio), and novelist Carson McCullers provided creative direction. Broadway and Hollywood actors and actresses such as Peggy Fears, Nancy Walker, and Betty Garde performed at the shows. Another fundraiser in 1948 financed a large addition to the theater. The theater provided a creative haven for the homosexual residents of Cherry Grove and their guests, where productions would openly address homosexual community issues.</p><br>
<p>The Cherry Grove Theatre is the oldest continually operating gay summer theater in the United States. It was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 2013. It is one of only five sites listed because of its association with LGBT history. However, almost 400 other such sites have been identified as candidates.</p><br>
<p>The Nicollet Hotel, in downtown Minneapolis, was located on a slightly irregular block bounded by Hennepin Avenue, Washington Avenue, Nicollet Avenue and 3rd Street South adjacent to Gateway Park.</p><br>
<p>The original hotel on the site (often called the Nicollet House Hotel) was built in 1858. Named after Joseph Nicollet, the hotel quickly became a landmark and many of the city&#39;s early prominent figures such as John S. Pillsbury and William D. Washburn worked out of it. Over the next half-century it was expanded and remodeled several times, but by the 1920s found itself obsolete. In 1922 city inspectors ordered the installation of a fire sprinkler system which the owners deemed too expensive. The old hotel was demolished in 1923.</p><br>
<p>The new Nicollet Hotel opened in June 1924. Costing $3.5 million, it had a total of 637 rooms spread across 12 stories. The building was designed by the Chicago-based firm of Holabird & Roche in a somewhat plain and unadorned style with four wings of rooms arranged around a central core. The building also had space for retail storefronts at street level.</p><br>
<p>While somewhat unremarkable in appearance, the hotels sheer size and entertainment venues made it a popular option. A young John F. Kennedy had been there as well as Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Judy Garland. One of the hotels lounges, the Minnesota Terrace, hosted musicians such as Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Gene Krupa and Lawrence Welk.</p><br>
<p>In the 1930s the Nicollet was managed by the National Hotel Management Company, with hotel industry pioneer Ralph Hitz as the NHM president. Hitz raised the profile of the Nicollet with his unique marketing style and particular attention to his guests and employees. In the 1950s a Polynesian-themed bar called the Waikiki Room was also added. In 1957 the hotel was bought by the Albert Pick Hotels Company and renamed the Pick-Nicollet Hotel.</p><br>
<p>During the 1960s when much of the Gateway District was demolished as part of an urban renewal project the Nicollet was spared, however the hotels age and the neighborhoods decline left it unable to compete. In 1973 the hotel was bought by Souls Harbor Church which held services, operated Calvary Bible Institute, and provided housing in the building. The church went into bankruptcy in 1984 and the hotels fixtures and furnishings were sold off shortly thereafter. Various proposals to renovate the building into a new hotel, apartments or office space were made during the 1980s but none of the plans came to fruition. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 but was eventually demolished in 1991.</p><br>
<p>After the buildings demolition the site served as a surface parking lot. In 2014 the city of Minneapolis solicited proposals to redevelop the block and received proposals from four different developers. In February 2015 the citys staff recommended a proposal from United Properties to build a complex on the site including a 36-story residential tower, Hilton hotel, retail/office space and a public plaza.</p><br>
<p>Likinlulem is a major archaeological site on the island of Kosrae in the Federated States of Micronesia. The site encompasses more than 7 acre on either side of Likinlulem Stream on the islands southwestern coast, in an area that is now overgrown mangrove swamp. It includes at least nine large enclosures with extensive internal features, a channelized stream, canoe landing, and a large open platform that is subject to inundation at high tide. Occupancy of the site has been dated to 1200-1800 CE, with one area possibly dating as far back as 1000 CE. The site is an important element of the islands oral history as it was here that its paramount chiefs are said to have held court prior to the ascendancy of Leluh c. 1400. When the site was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 2004, it had been surveyed but not extensively excavated.</p><br>
<p>The Goodwin Hotel, is a historic hotel and apartment building located in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Known for its distinctive English Queen Anne terracotta facade, the building was originally developed as an apartment building by brothers James J. Goodwin and Rev. Francis Goodwin and opened in 1881. It was designed by Francis Kimball and was modeled on buildings Rev. Goodwin had seen being constructed at the time in England. Kimball, of the firm of Kimball & Wisedell, was the architect for the Day House in Hartford, which also has an English Queen Anne design. The Goodwin Building was expanded in 1891 to Ann Street and in 1900 to Pearl Street. It was a very prestigious address at the time, with even J.P. Morgan living there during his visits to the city of his birth.</p><br>
<p>In 1985-1986, the buildings Arts and Crafts style interior was gutted to prepare for the structures incorporation into a new office tower, Goodwin Square, completed in 1989. The facade was preserved, incorporated into the 1980s Goodwin Square office tower built within the original building&#39;s footprint. It is the anchor structure within a National Register of Historic Places historic district that includes three adjoining buildings from the same time period. That same year, the Goodwin Hotel opened in the former apartment building.</p><br>
<p>The hotel operated within the Goodwin Square complex, but closed on December 29, 2008, after losing money for several years. The building&#39;s owners hoped to lease it to another operator for as little as $1 a year to keep the historical inn open, but no deal could be reached. The doors initially had to be chained shut, as they had never needed to be locked for the previous 19 years.</p><br>
<p>After foreclosure in 2013, the Goodwin Square complex entered a period of limbo before being bought by a Wilton real estate firm in May 2015. Westport Capital Partners, which together with two co-investors bought the hotel and adjoining skyscraper in an online auction for $17.6 million. The hotel portion of the complex was sold to a hospitality group based in Stamford, Greenwich Hospitality, which owns and operates numerous hotels in the region, under the brands Hotel Zero Degrees and Delamar Hotels. After a complete renovation, the hotel reopened in June 2017. The flagship restaurant has been renamed Harlan Braserrie and opened at the same time.</p><br>
<p>The Lawrence Library is the public library of Fairfield, Maine. It is located at 33 Lawrence Avenue, in an architecturally distinguished Romanesque Revival building designed by William R. Miller and completed in 1901. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library is set on the south side of Lawrence Street, in a residential area a short way west of Fairfield&#39;s central business district. It is a roughly rectangular structure, two stories in height, with a slate hip roof and walls of slate and granite. Its main facade, facing north, is divided into four sections. The outer two sections each consist of three round-arch openings, the arches prominently formed out of light granite, with windows set in them. The center-left bay houses the main entrance, which is set in a large round arch, and is topped by large, slightly projecting, gabled dormer section which houses three smaller round-arch windows, a granite crest bearing the construction date (1900), and a panel naming the building. The bay to the right has a projecting polygonal tower capped by a turreted roof. The first level of the tower has single round-arch windows, while the second has smaller paired round-arch windows. Belt courses of light granite extend across the facade at several levels, contrasting the verticality of the windows.</p><br>
<p>Fairfield&#39;s library was established in 1895 by the local Ladies Book Club, with 48 volumes placed in a local shop. The library grew rapidly, highlighting the need for a permanent home. Edward J. Lawrence, owner of a local sawmill, donated $15,000 for the construction of the building, which was designed by Lewiston architect William R. Miller, and built in 1900–01 on land donated by Mrs. L. E. Newhall; both Lawrence and Newhall also donated funds to further increase the collection. Miller was a well-known architect with a practice that extended across central Maine; his design, while clearly based on the innovations of architect H. H. Richardson in the style and function of libraries, also exhibits some Beaux Arts features then coming into vogue. The building has been remarkably unaltered since its construction, retaining the original uses of the three-part layout of the first floor (reading room, circulation area, stacks) with storage on the second level.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Architect William R. Millers Lawrence Library of 1900 in Fairfield strongly reflects the influence of H. H. Richardson. During the 1870s and ’80s, Richardson started to restructure American architectural design by the forceful unity with which he formulated Medieval Romanesque forms as well as by his utility in organizing space. Small community libraries were emerging at this time, and these became one of the building types most frequently requested of Richardson and his contemporaries. Richardson resolved the problem by creating one-and-a-half-story structures such as the Crane Memorial Library in Quincy, Massachusetts of 1880–83, which were divided into 3 vital sections, a reading room, and stacks flanking an entrance. The Lawrence Library is an adaptation of Richardsons libraries in both style and plan. Yet the Fairfield buildings departure from Richardsons purity of Romanesque detail and asymmetry in composition is indicative of the Beaux Arts influence which was being felt in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.</p><br>
<p>Like so many of its counterparts, the Lawrence Library was the outgrowth of a nineteenth century private library organization. In the case of Fairfield, this was the Ladies Book Club. Founded in 1895, the Club started with twenty-four members and forty-eight books. A bookcase was placed in a local confectioners shop with the hope of adding fifty volumes each year. However, interest in the effort grew more rapidly than was anticipated, and by 1899 the club had moved to two rooms in a bank block. The continued growth and support of the library resulted in serious consideration of a permanent building to house the collection. During the clubs meeting of May, 1900, Edward J. Lawrence announced that he was prepared to give his native town a public library if a suitable site could be found. Within a short time, Mrs. L.E. Newhall donated a choice lot which faced the community park and was located between her residence and that of Lawrence&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>Edward J. Lawrence was a highly successful. At the turn of the century, his mills sawed 120,000 feet of lumber per day and employed 225 men. He made available $15,000 to construct the library from the plans of William R. Miller (1866-1929), a prominent Lewiston, Maine, architect whose practice extended throughout Central Maine. In addition, both Lawrence and Mrs. Newhall gave $1,000 each for the purchase of books.</p><br>
