High Street Historic District (Additional Documentation: Bok Amphitheatre), Camden, 1929
The Bok Amphitheatre at the Camden Library in Camden, Maine is a remarkable outdoor structure in which the landscape architect Fletcher Steele (1885-1971) deftly combined classical architectural forms with a local setting in a manner that set a new direction in modern landscape architecture. The amphitheatre, which is positioned behind the Colonial Revival style library, is sited primarily to maximize the views through the adjacent Camden Harbor Park to the Camden waterfront.
