About This Item
Hartland, Maine: [ca 1910]. Warm-toned silver print photograph, 4.25" x 6.5", on 8" x 9.75" paperboard mount; pencil and pen notations and typed label affixed with clear tape on verso: "Miss Helen M. Smith, Hartland, Maine." CONDITION: Good+, lightly faded, two small chips with loss at top and bottom right corners; mount chipped with loss at bottom left corner. A richly toned photograph of the James Moor house, later the Scott-Webb Memorial Hospital, in Hartland, Maine. According to the Hartland Historical Society, "In 1802, James Moor (1800-1873) arrived with his parents William & Sally Moor who settled on what became Commercial Street in Hartland. Following his parents departure to Corinna soon after 1820, James remained in Hartland and began an important role in the early years of development of Hartland's town affairs and its industry.
James married Dorcas Wiggin in 1821 and they built a modest home atop the highest hill on Main Street where they began raising their family of 9 eventual children. In 1847, James & Dorcas built a new, larger house on the same location which would eventually become the Scott-Webb Memorial Hospital in 1932.
