The 350th Committee is busy planning our upcoming anniversary celebration in 2008. Just think of how far we have come since our founding in 1658 and just imagine what the future holds for us over the next 50 to 100 years. Look at the cover photos closely; can you guess where they were taken? The key below holds the answers to the numbers on the photographs. 1. A photo of the Public Safety Building as it appeared around the 1970’s and was expanded in the late 1980’s to its current configuration. The building is located at 246 U.S. Route One and still houses both the Police and Fire Departments. 2. The U.S. Post Office building located on Route 1 in Oak Hill as it appeared while under construction. The Post Office moved to the Oak Hill Plaza. The building in the picture was expanded and is now a professional building. 3. Public Works facility from the 1960’s was not much more than a two- bay garage. It was located on the Payne Road behind what is now the Dunstan School Restaurant. The building is no longer there, but the area is still used by Public Works. 4. Bessey School building is located on Route 1. However, it is no longer needed for school purposes and will be changing to the Bessey School Senior Housing in the future. 5. Dunstan fire truck a 1936 Maxim on a Ford Chassis. Firefighting equipment has improved since the photo was taken, but at the time this would have been a state-of-the-art front-line apparatus. But can you imagine driving it in the Maine winters? 6. The building known as the Wayland House is still located at Dunstan Corner. It now houses professional and business space. 7. The Scarborough Public Library building was located on the Black Point Road. The library moved in 1990 to its current location on Gorham Road and the old library is now a private residence. 8. Doctors Haigis, Flint and Lowell with a 1952 Chevy which served as the town’s first rescue truck. The picture was taken in front of what was then the main entrance to the high school. 9. Chief Pride and Captain Flaherty with two new 1950’s police cruisers. The photo was taken in front of the Town Hall building that was located on Route One in Oak Hill. 10. The Pleasantdale Grange building located on Pleasant Hill Road is now the Oak Hill Grange #104. The members of the Oak Hill Grange have worked hard to save and restore the old structure. 11. The photo from the 1970’s shows the Public Works garage when it moved to a former MDOT site on the Black Point Road next to the railroad tracks. The Public Works Department moved to its current location in the late 1990’s when MDOT redesigned the road. 12. A photo from the late 50’s or early 60’s of the Municipal Offices located on Route 1 near what is now the entrance to the Municipal Complex. The Municipal Offices moved into the current building in 1993.
