Download or read book South Portland and Cape Elizabeth Maine written by Connie Porter Scott and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling collection of more than two hundred old photographs brings to life South Portland and Cape Elizabeth in the century of change between the 1850s and the 1950s. Most of the photographs in this fascinating visual history are rare and many have never before been published. They are taken from family albums which provide an intimate chronicle of the history of the area, ranging from the Spurwink River to the boatyards at Ferry Village, the estates at Delano Park, and the many neighborhoods that make up South Portland. The photographs introduce us to the people, places, and events which defined South Portland and Cape Elizabeth between 1850 and 1950, including the descendants of some of the first settlers--the Jordans, Dyers, Murrays, and Cleeves, whose families still live in the area. This treasury of images and information will be a source of fascination and enjoyment for resident and visitor, young and old alike.
