[Rarebooks] FS: Colonial Doorways of Hallowell, Maine

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Doorways of Hallowell with Historical Sketches"

By Charles A. Wight.

Published by the author in Augusta in 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 black &
white plates; publisher’s red cloth with gilt titles. Covers with light
soil, a little wear at the spine head; tips bumped (see photo below);
contents with minor soil, and otherwise in very nice condition.  $100.00
