The Albany Town House is one of only three historic public buildings in Albany Township, Maine. It was built in 1848 by the residents of Albany for use as a polling place, town meeting site, and the location of governmental activities. Architecturally, it is a vernacular structure with just a nod towards the Greek Revival style. This building served the Town of Albany until the municipality?s charter was forfeited to the State of Maine in 1937, and the town became an un-organized territory under State administration.

As Maine communities began to lose their frontier aspects in the 19th century and assume a more settled countenance, rudimentary civic improvements were initiated. Among these improvements in the largely agricultural world of rural Maine were those concerned with the regulation of livestock. To control the problem of loose cattle, hogs, or sheep towns constructed open air shelters, known as pounds or cattle pounds, to temporarily corral wayward animals. The existence of 21 of these structures in Maine has been verified, and their condition varies from almost unrecognizable to good.

Brave Boat Harbor Farm is a small historic district on the Atlantic coast in the town of York that is notable for its designed landscapes and architecture. The farm was the home of Marion and Calvin Hosmer, Jr. who, starting in 1951, erected stately buildings that include a stone-veneered Georgian style manor house and a complex of neo-Federal style barns, fields, pastures and agricultural outbuildings.

Erected in 1933, the Roosevelt School is a former one-room educational facility which now serves as the Hamlin Town Hall. It is the most intact of the two remaining historic rural school buildings in the Community.

Located in the Penobscot County town of Hampden, Maine, Harmony Hall is a facility that since 1896 has served as a public venue for civic groups associated with public advancement and education, as well as a place for entertainment. The eclectic building, which exhibits elements of Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles was originally built as the Universalist Chapel in 1829 and substantially renovated for use as a social meeting hall by the Village Improvement Society in 1895/6.

Since its construction, the Weld Town Hall has been at the center of community affairs. Countless votes, measureless concerts, numberless dinners, and numerous movies, plays, and ceremonies have occurred within its four walls and two spacious floors. Erected by the Weld Masonic Lodge between 1922 and 1926, the hall has been owned by the Town of Weld since 1940. The Weld Town Hall continues to function as a Masonic meeting facility as well as serving the residents of the Town as a meeting hall, performance space, and athletic venue.

Scarborough High School, constructed in 1926, is significant as the town?s first modern school building. The building represents an important step in the progress of education in Scarborough and has been an important contributing element to life in the town for over seventy years. This was the first high school in town to incorporate a gymnasium, a laboratory and facilities for vocational education, items which were to become standard in the years to come.

Windswept was the seasonal cottage of Mary Ellen Chase (1887-1973), the noted educator, author, and lecturer. She is considered by many literary critiques to be second only to Sarah Orne Jewett in her ability to capture the history and particular atmosphere of the coast of Maine and its people, yet her work also encompassed educational pedagogy, and biblical criticism. Located on the shore of Petit Manan Point in the town of Steuben, Windswept is a modest cottage with sweeping views of the coast of Maine, including the Schoodic Peninsula and Mount Desert Island.

The Machias Valley Grange, #360 is a building which has served the community of Machias for 100 years. Built by members of the Grange in 1907 as their meeting hall, the vernacular building with Queen Anne details and a projecting second story is outfitted with a beautiful second floor hall, complete with balcony and a stage, and a spacious dining room and convenient kitchen. Its design not only offered the members of the Grange facilities in which to conduct their meetings and rituals, but made the property valuable as a social and cultural facility for the greater Machias region.

The Dennis Johnson Lumber Company Sawmill, also known as the Johnson Mill, was an industrial fixture in Waterboro, Maine from at least 1869 to 1963. Over its long history the mill manufactured long and short lumber, shingles, and wooden box components. In the 19th century it utilized water power from Johnson Stream before upgrading just after the turn of the twentieth century to mechanical power provided by a steam boiler.
