Blaine House, The | Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr.

1 post

The Blaine House in Augusta is one of Maine s most notable homes. In 1862, three decades after the house was built by Capt. James Hall in the early 1830s, James and Harriet Blaine moved in. The home became the setting for one of the most meteoric careers in American politics, during which James Blaine served as Speaker of the US House of Representatives, US senator, secretary of state, and Republican candidate for president in 1884. After the deaths of her parents, the Blaines daughter Harriet Blaine Beale gave the house to the state in 1919. Since 1920, it has served as the official residence of the state s governors and their families. As a symbol of state government, it ranks with the Maine State House. The house has been a National Historic Landmark since 1964. Architecturally, it reflects a combination of Federal, Victorian, and Colonial Revival styles. Today, the Blaine House functions as a social showcase for Maine, a working office, and family living quarters."

Pride in Maine at the Blaine House. First time there has been an official proclamation for pride month in Maine. First time the governor has received a group of queer people for the intention of celebrating us. Being invited, that‘s a thing. Picture of myself and Governor Mills.
