This photo, which was probably taken about 1900, shows a boy with a couple of pails and buckets walking down Church Street just across from what is now the City Building. Dr. Miner converted the building to the right into Calais’ first hospital in the 1920’s. The church is, of course, the Second Baptist before it burned and was replaced by the new church. The building to the left eventually became the nurse’s residence for Dr Miner’s hospital and is now the location of Hallowell and McMannis office. At the very top center, the Calais grammar school which burned in 1935 can just be seen.

If you have any information about this photo or other photos or information you would like to share with the Historical Society please contact Gayle Moholland, Fred Becker or Al Churchill. You may also leave a message on the answering machine at the Historical Society. 454-3061 Calais’ largest boot ever, we think. Photo taken at end of Monroe Street. Would really like to know the name of the boy.
