Description

East Market Square in Bangor, Maine. The intersections of Harlow, State, and Park Streets. Circa 1880 to 1885. Estimate based on absence of electric poles and wiring. Electricity came to Bangor around 1887. The light on the street was likely lit by a lamplighter.

Unitarian Universalist Society Church of Bangor is on the right. The fire of April 1911 damaged much of the building, including the two steeples.

The middle church is the First Baptist Church at 10 Center Street which was completed destroyed by that fire.

The other prominent building was the fire station on Harlow Street.
