I happened to be walking past the City Tomb the other day (yeah, I walk around in cemeteries - got a problem with that?) and noticed the door was open!
Have been raised Catholic, all kinds of iconic images filled my head. But as I approached for a peek, I was disappointed to find only two Craftsmen lawn mowers.
The Big-Gulp cup on the ledge should have been a give away.
Jeff Kirlin and I continue our effort to photograph every Grange Hall in Maine. I drove to Boston last weekend and managed to photograph another dozen or so on the way down and back.
Most Grange Halls have a distinctive architectural design and are easy to spot. They're usually rather simple, barn like structures like the ones below:
Mousam Lake Grange in Shapleigh
Highland Lake Grange in Westbrook
Bauneg Beg Grange in North Berwick
Hollis Grange
However, some Granges are a bit fancier like these:
Pownal Grange (now the Town Office)
Benton Grange
Waterboro Grange
John F. Hill Grange in Eliot
Alas, not all Granges Halls are grand examples of the classic New England meeting house design. Some are much humbler in appearance:
Litchfield Grange
Riverside Grange in Lebanon
Even when giving away a free item, it's best to not point out the major product flaw.
