Wight, Charles A. "DOORWAYS OF HALLOWELL WITH HISTORICAL SKETCHES" 
Augusta: 1907. At the end of the 18th century Hallowell, Maine was
presumed to be destined to be one of America’s greatest cities, and
prosperous sea captains and merchants built fine homes there. Hallowell
never did make the “big time”, and a hundred years later it was still a
beautiful town of 3,000 inhabitants. But the fact that it never grew meant
that many of the grand Colonial and Federal homes remained intact, and
this book, by the pastor of Hallowell’s Old South Church, illustrates and
describes a dozen beautiful period doorways in the town. Uncommon.
Hardcover. 6.5”x9.5”, 37 pages (printed one side only) plus 12 b/w plates;
publisher’s red cloth with gilt titles; covers with light soil, a little
wear at the spine head; minor soil; a nice copy. [30726] $100.00
