Maine Architecture Trail, Earle G. Shettleworth Jr.

Maine History Documents

The architectural character of Maine’s small towns and villages is intrinsically linked to the history of its people. Buildings and the cultural landscapes of which they are a part are a reflection of the time and place in which they were constructed, as well as the people who created them. They inform our conceptions of the past, our sense of the local aesthetic, and the values of community.
