<p>Sea Change is a historic summer estate at 27 Corning Way in Northeast Harbor, Maine. Its main house is an International style structure, originally built in 1940 to a design by Wallace K. Harrison in collaboration with Isamu Noguchi, and rebuilt from the original plans in 2005 after a fire destroyed the original. Outbuildings on the property include three once-detached Shingle style cabins and a carriage house , all built in the late 19th century by Erastus Corning. The most unusual structure on the property is a large reinforced concrete bomb shelter, built in 1961–62 to design by William F. Pedersen. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, for its exceptional collection of modern architecture, including the Cold War-era bunker and a rare Harrison design located outside New York.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Sea Change is located just east of the tip of Sargent Head, a small peninsula jutting south from the larger peninsula of Mount Desert Island on which Northeast Harbor is located. The entire Sargents Head area was acquired in the late 19th century by Erastus Corning, a prominent Albany, New York businessman and politician, and it was his family that first developed what became known as “Sea Change”. At that time it was known as Stony Point. In the 1880s they built a handsome Shingle style estate house, on Sargent Head and a carriage house at one end of his property, at the location of the future “Sea Change”. Erastus gave his son Edwin the land with the carriage house. Edwin enlisted architect Fred Savage to design a main house and three cabins that he called “sleeping pavilions”. It was reminiscent of an Adirondack style compound at lakeside. This portion of the Corning property was sold in 1939 to William A. M. Burden, a scion of the Vanderbilt family and longtime president of the Museum of Modern Art. The Burdens named their newly acquired property “Sea Change” after a line sung by the spirit Ariel in Shakespeares “The Tempest” The Burdens disassembled the Cornings main house (of which parts were reused by the Cornings for a more modest house on the remaining land), and commissioned New York City architect Wallace K. Harrison and sculptor Isamu Noguchi to design an International Style house as a replacement, which was completed in 1947. Harrisons design was a structure that was scaled to harmonize with the remaining existing buildings, using their footprints and massing as a guide in designing portions of the house, and integrating them into what became a large indoor-outdoor living space.</p><br>
<p>The interiors of the cabins were renovated incorporating materials used in the main house and adding a bathroom for each bedroom. In the 1950s Burden retained William F. Pedersen to redesign the interior of one of the three cabins. Pedersen was an architect who worked under Wallace Harrison and eventually began his own firm. Pedersen&#39;s most unusual contribution to the complex, however, is the reinforced concrete bomb shelter, which Burden ordered designs for after return from Belgium after a stint as United States Ambassador to Belgium. Burden had for many years consulted for the United States government on military matters, including nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology, and was undoubtedly aware of Soviet advances in those areas. The first designs for the shelter are dated September 21, 1961; the Soviet Union detonated a hydrogen bomb the following October. It consists of a large central chamber from which two hallways radiate; it has a sleeping capacity of 24.</p><br>
<p>In 1999 the main house suffered severe fire damage. An extensive and comprehensive restoration was completed in 2005 using the original plans, under the guidance of architect Heinrich Herman and family member Jean E. P. Burden, restoring virtually all of the interior and exterior features and furnishings. The only changes were the provision of more modern kitchen appliances, and updates to the mechanical and electrical systems related to safety codes.</p><br>

<p>The Madison Public Library was founded in 1886, and was housed in commercial spaces until this building was built in 1906, supported in part by an $8,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie. Designed by the local firm of Snow and Humphreys, its tower and angled wings are distinctive features not seen in other libraries throughout the state.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Madison Public Library is an L-shaped one-story brick building featuring one of the most unusual compositions in Maine. This distinction derives from the arrangement of the wide projecting entrance block that projects from the angled rectangular wings. Rising above the intersection of these three components is an octagonal tower capped by a similarly configured standing seam metal roof. The building stands on a corner lot near the community&#39;s commercial district.</p><br>
<p>Facing northwest, the facade features a flight of granite steps that rise to a narrow recessed porch framed by two pilasters and a pair of smooth stone columns set in antis. They support a stone entablature decorated with a keystone. Oval windows with four equally spaced stone voussoirs flank the entrance, and all three components are located within a wall surface with corner pilasters and a corbeled string-course. Crowning the elevation is a corbeled cornice. The wings that extend at obtuse angles from the entrance contain reading rooms and the book stacks. Their primary walls are punctuated by a trio of symmetrically placed one-over-one windows surmounted by Queen Anne transoms. Corbeled cornices meet the string-course set up on the facade. Three small windows located on axis with the main units punctuate the granite foundation on each wing, a pattern repeated throughout.</p><br>
<p>The endwall of the south wing contains four equally spaced double-hung windows with transoms and a modern doorway for handicapped access. Its counterpart on the east wing features 2 of</p><br>
<p>the standard windows as well as 4 smaller one-over-one units arranged in horizontal rows of two, one above the other. This fenestration denotes the location of the book stack and its configuration is carried across the back side with six windows. Two additional openings punctuate the back wall of the south wing.</p><br>
<p>The crossing tower has 3 wide diamond pane windows on its principal sides, 2 paneled divisions over the wings, as well as 2 small segmentally arched openings and the exterior chimney at the back. Circling the tower, there is a broad corbeled cornice whose detailing matches that of the entrance.</p><br>

All window and door-surrounds hold on to their dark stained woodwork.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Madison Public Library was designed by the local architectural firm of Snow and Humphreys and it was completed in 1906. It is considered as one of the most unique buildings in the state. Further distinction is afforded the library by virtue of its being one of only eighteen whose construction was funded by a grant from Andrew Carnegie. The library retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, and association. It fulfills the requirements for registration under criteria A and C for its educational and architectural importance as more fully described in the multiple property submission ‘Maine Public Libraries’.</p><br>
<p>Madison’s public library traces its history to a meeting which was held on 04 January 1886 by local townspeople. The founders of the Madison Library Corporation committed to raise 250 USD for the motive of establishing a library if the town would match this figure. As the mission was successfully completed, on 30 April 1887, the organizers opened the library on the second floor of a commercial building. The collection of books had evidently surpassed its space by 1904 and measures had to be taken for finding a solution. Andrew Carnegie was approached for a grant at that time and he gave the amount of 8,000 USD on 02 June 1904.</p><br>
<p>In July of the following year the Industrial Journal (Bangor) reported that C. L. Humphreys had recently been in Waterville to look at the newly built library for ideas on a similar facility to be erected in Madison. Humphreys apparently drew little inspiration from that building because the two are wholly different in plan and form. (Although both are very eclectic and original forms in comparison to others of the period.) In any case, work was completed by the end of 1906 and the library opened for use on January 3, 1907. It continues to function in its original capacity with only minor changes to the disposition and use of the interior space.</p><br>
<p>Centrally located in the walk leading to the library is the town’s monument to its Civil War dead. The solemn pose of a bronze figured soldier at ease stands on a tall granite pillar. It was erected here in September, 1907 having been sculpted by the Hallowell (Maine) Granite Company. It is not considered a contributing object to the library, although it merits future study in the context of war memorials in general.</p><br>
<p>Seawall Campground is a campground in Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island off the coast of Maine. The campground offers four loops of campsites, including "drive-up" sites suitable for RVs and trailers, as well as walk-in tent-only campsites, and is open from late May into October. Much of the campground was built between 1936 and 1942 by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps; this section is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The campground is located in the village of Seawall, in the town of Southwest Harbor on Maine State Route 102A.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Seawall Campground is located on 120 acre of parkland near the southern end of the western lobe of Mount Desert Island, in a portion of Acadia National Park that is separated from the largest portion, which is on the island&#39;s eastern lobe. It is on the north side of Route 102A, the main loop road around the coast of that part of the island. The entrance road leads north to the checkin station, north of which four loops of campsites branch. Other public facilities include comfort stations with toilets and hot showers, and an amphitheater, while service facilities including park staff housing and other utility buildings.</p><br>
<p>Acadia National Park was established in 1916 as a National Monument and was designated a national park in 1919, the first in the United States park system located east of the Mississippi River. The first master plan for the park, published in 1927, included a call for campgrounds, but funding did not become available until the jobs programs of the 1930s. In 1935 the site of Seawall Campground was chosen, and construction began in 1936 by Civilian Conservation Corps crews funded by the Works Progress Administration. Loops A and B were the first to be built, using the park service&#39;s principles of Rustic design. They were completed by the end of season in 1937, except for the comfort station in Loop B, which was built in a subsequent season. Work continued on Loop C and the checkin/ranger station, but progress on these was delayed by US entry into World War II, and they were not finished until 1942. Loop D, which consists of walk-in tent campsites, and the amphitheater were built in the 1950s as part of a "Mission 66" program by the park service to expand facilities ahead of its fiftieth anniversary in 1966.</p><br>

<p>The Spanish Wall is the deteriorating remnant of Spanish Fort Alphonso XIII in Kolonia, the capital of Pohnpei State in the Federated States of Micronesia. When built, the wall was about 0.5 mi in length and 8 ft in height with a parapet that ranged in height from 2 -. The wall was built by Spanish administrators of Pohnpei in 1887 after a local uprising drove the local Spanish authorities onto a ship in the harbor.

<p>Zions Hill, also known as the Ralph Owen Brewster House, and now the Brewster Inn, is a historic house at 37 Zions Hill in Dexter, Maine. The house is a 1930s updating of an 1870s structure to a design by John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens, who also designed the landscaping of the 2 acre property. This renovation was done for Ralph Owen Brewster, a prominent Maine politician who served as Governor of Maine and for two terms in the United States Senate, and created one of the major Colonial Revival showcases of interior Maine. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Zions Hill is set prominently on the north side of the same-named road, on the fringe of Dexters central village. The main house is set at the southeast corner of the landscaped property, with a semicircular drive in front. The house is a rambling wood-frame structure with a central mass that is a two-story L shape with a hip roof. In front of this blocks two-bay facade is a deep porte-cochere that extends over the drive. A single-story sun-room occupies the crook of the L, extending further west than the rear leg of the L, where a long veranda extends to the rear. A two-story wing extends to the east, with a single-story conservatory area in front, and a garage and servant&#39;s quarters behind. The interior of the house has restrained woodwork reminiscent of the Federal period, and has retained original wallpaper, light fixtures, and draperies.</p><br>
<p>The structure of the main portion of the house was built in the 1870s by William E. Brewster, and it is in that house that Ralph Owen Brewster grew up. Brewster, educated at Bowdoin College, entered politics in the 1910s, serving in the state legislature before winning two terms as Governor of Maine 1924–29. In 1929 he purchased his father&#39;s house, and in 1934 retained the noted Portland firm of John Calvin Stevens and his son John Howard Stevens to significantly expand the house into a property suitable for a prominent politician. Brewster served three terms in the United States House of Representatives (1935–41) and then two terms in the Senate (1941–53). The house designed by the Stevenses, although essentially Colonial Revival in style, had to abandon the symmetry typical of that style to accommodate both the asymmetry of the original house, and the needs of the Brewsters for public spaces in which to conduct political business. The Stevenses were also responsible for designing the landscaping of the property, much of which has apparently been preserved despite conversion of the property to a bed and breakfast.</p><br>

<p>The Market Square Historic District of Houlton, Maine encompasses that town&#39;s historic late-19th century central business district. Centered on the junction of Market Square, Court Street, Water Street, and Main Street, it includes a relatively cohesive assortment of brick and masonry commercial buildings, designed by architects and built between 1885 and 1910, following the arrival of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Houlton was one of the first communities settled in southern Aroostook, and is still its most important economic center. The town was incorporated in 1831, but grew very slowly until 1870, when the New Brunswick Railway was extended westward into Maine. In 1893 the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad arrived in Houlton from the west, kicking of a commercial building boom. The downtown area which developed around Market Square was affected by fires in 1884 and 1902, which mainly resulted in the destruction of older wood-frame buildings. The result is a cohesive collection of brick and masonry buildings generally between two and four stories in height, built with a variety of architectural styles popular at the time.</p><br>
<p>The district is centered on the intersection of four roads just east of Pearce Brook, which snakes through the town, and a short way south of Interstate 95, the region&#39;s only highway. Market Square, the western branch of the junction, is a broad open area with parking at its center, lined on the east and west with historical buildings. Notable among these is the First National Bank of Houlton, the only building on the square with a granite facade; it was designed by George M. Coombs and built in 1907. Three of the eight buildings on the square were designed by Wilfred E. Mansur of Bangor, although they are each in different styles. Three buildings line the west side of Court Street just south of the intersection, and three more are north of the junction on Water Street, including the Romanesque Revival Post Office and Custom House. Main Street east of the junction is lined on both sides with historic buildings to Broadway and Powers Street, including several more designed by Mansur and Coombs. These include the Mansur-designed fire station, and the Colonial Revival Elks Lodge, which anchors the eastern end of the district.</p><br>
