[included in the exhibit "Washington County Through Eastern's Eye"] LB2007.1.111549 View at Jonesport, Me. 5. This view is of the east end of Jonesport in the 1920s. Of the five buildings shown, one was destroyed by fire, and three were torn down. Only the home on the right of the photo is still standing today. The first building on the left was a school building in the late 1800s. It then became the "Red Men" Hall. It was torn down In MRCH 2006 by T. A. King & Son to make room for their expanding lumberyard business. The second building, behind the church, was owned by the Daniel Sawyer Hall family and was destroyed by fire in the mid 1900s. A new home was built on the site for Gordon M. Crowley and his wife, Julia (Drisko) Crowley. The church was one of the first in Jonesport. The land for it was donated by Daniel Sawyer Hall and his wife, Rebecca S. (Sawyer) Hall. The church was built in the mid 1800s as a Baptist Church and then became the Congregational Church, the Latter Day Saints Church, and then Red Men Hall. During the mid-1950a it was used to make and repair fish nets. It was torn down before 1960. The building to the right of the church was known as the "Hall House". It was the home of Daniel Sawyer Hall and his wife, Rebecca S. (Sawyer) Hall and later owned by Lee Wellington Hall, who willed it to Lee Merton Hall and his wife, Barbara Belinda (Woodward) Hall. It was used as a two-apartment building for many years before it was torn down about 1970. Barbara continues to live in on the property. The mansard-roof house at the far right, which still stands, was the home of Charles Wellington Hall and his wife, Annie Belle (Church) Hall in about 1880. The house later became the home of Lorin E. "Pat" Lakeman and his wife, Vera Arlene (Hall) Lakeman in 1981 and has continued to be owned by relatives. Captions contributed by Donald C. Woodward, President of Jonesport Historical Society
