Maine Historical Society (489 Congress Street), 1997

Full exterior view of Maine Historical Society\u27s Center for Maine History, 489 Congress Street, from south. The building was originally that of Day\u27s Jewelry Store (1927-1972), then The Curtainshop (1977-1986), and had recently been home to First New Hampshire Bank (1987-1993). The latter had renovated the building in 1987 as a temporary structure to be replaced by a 14-storey high-rise. Maine Historical Society acquired the building in 1996, for its expansion, creating a one-acre history campus.
