Out of curiosity, I looked up the property on PortlandMaps.com and it shows a 1900 construction date. Any idea why the discrepancy?Ken Fallonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221730792914959495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435847382086635016.post-82113372155761206412021-01-24T12:33:30.894-08:002021-01-24T12:33:30.894-08:00Fred, possibly more than you care about the Univer...Fred, possibly more than you care about the Universalist origins of the church, but sending the link anyway: http://www.firstunitarianportland.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Universalists-Cindy-Cumfer.pdf. I did not know about the history of this building, but got curious because of Universal in the title, and wondered if it was connected to "my" Universalists. I play in the handbell choir at First Unitarian, and am a member of the Unitarian Universalist congregation in the Couv. Will pass your article on to the UU community.

It is a basement, two stories and a bell tower. Built in 1934, and still serving as a church today. It's in no immediate danger of demolition. But I hope it's recognized as something of value....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00784546239142652225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435847382086635016.post-62280506578054751192021-01-23T17:18:08.446-08:002021-01-23T17:18:08.446-08:00I love the detail about Taft.

We would roll the papers together (3 or 4 paper boys), maybe get in a fight, or go kitty corner to the drug store for a candy bar, then off to deliver our route. I am glad to see the church will still be standing.<br /><br />Gary NelsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263141692214829778noreply@blogger.com
