Author Event: Homes Down East
|
Maine coauthors Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Christopher Glass, and Scott Hanson will discuss and show photographs from their new book, Homes Down East: Classic Maine Coastal Cottages and Town Houses at the Library on Thursday, July 9th at 7:00 PM. For this book the authors have tracked down summer cottages that were built in Maine for seasonal residents after the Civil War, and featured in Scientific American Building Monthly from 1885 to 1905. Scientific American Building Monthly published floor plans, photographs, and descriptions of hundreds of homes around the country -including many in the Shingle Style-to inspire architects, builders, and clients. The authors share gorgeous photography, interesting history and architectural insights for each cottage.
A native of Portland, Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., cofounded Greater Portland Landmarks in 1964. In 1971 he was appointed to the first board of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, and has served as director of the commission since 1976 and as Maine State Historian since 2004. Earle has lectured and written extensively on Maine history and architecture.  Christopher Glass is an architect practicing in Camden, Maine, since 1974. He taught architectural design at Bowdoin College for twenty years and has lectured widely. He is a former chair of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, former president of Maine Preservation, and author of two previous books on the architecture of Maine homes.
Scott T. Hanson, an architectural historian with Sutherland Conservation & Consulting in Augusta, has researched and written numerous National Register nominations and Maine Historic Building Record documentation projects. Scott is the author of one previous book and coauthor with Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr.: The Architecture of Cushing's Island (2012).  Books will be available for sale and signing courtesy of Blue Hill Books. This event is sponsored by the Library. There is no charge, and everyone is welcome. For more information, call the Library at 374-5515.
