Maine's First Academy , South Berwick, Maine D594
A view of the original building of the Berwick Academy. The academy was founded in 1791 by citizens of Berwick, York and Wells. The school has continued since then evolving with the conditions of the community and times. It was around the time this photo was taken when the school reverted back to a private prep school. Today this building houses the finance and facilities department of the academy.
