Greater Portland Landmarks Day

What a fantastic walking tour and class from Greater Portland Landmarks yesterday for our Historic Homes of Maine specialists. After a tour of the Charles B Clarke mansion - which we have listed - we proceeded on a two hour walking tour with Tom Caron, and EXCELLENT guide.

At the end of that chilly but great session we returned to The Pomegranate Inn where the executive director of GPL talked to us about the importance of keeping Historic Homes true and GPLs role in this. Hillary was an excellent speaker and very inspiring.

Scot Fuller's team at Pomegranate then served us an amazing lunch that included the most delicious onion soup ever! A great day attended by: Linda Jonas, Betty Bryer, Gail Caruso, John Bennett, Keith Henley, Erica Bates, Dana Moos, Mary Purslow, Cissy Leonardi, Ted Koehler, Bradley Stager, Midge Smith and Jan Moore.

Williamson House in Belfast

Never have we had more requests from the press for information on a house like we have on this Belfast landmark. Really astounding.

Bass Harbor

Listing broker, Carroll Fernald, brought this to my attention. An historic building, with significant local history, turned into contemporary homes.

The former Underwood Sardine Factory had a fascinating history that is outlined on the Maine Preservation website. http://www.mainepreservation.com/Endangered/underwoodcannery.shtml

Midge Smith in our Blue Hill office just listed a beautiful property, the exact sort of home that we look forward to working with and giving great exposure with our new division.

Lost Bar Harbor

How many times have you looked at Lost Bar Harbor? I just did again and never get bored. It is the only time I ever wish I had been born earlier,,, :-) Would have been fun to be around Bar Harbor during the height of the "cottage" years.
If you haven't seen this book, you are missing out.
