Bangor Children's Home

The Bangor Children's Home, established in 1839 in Bangor, Maine, served as an orphanage until 1975. Housed in a historic Stick style building designed by architect Henry W. Hartwell, it features distinctive architectural elements such as a dormered mansard roof and elaborate entrance. Originally known as the Bangor Female Orphan Asylum, it was rechartered in 1866 to include boys and has since been transformed into the Hilltop School and daycare center. The site is notable for its historical significance and architectural style, making it an interesting visit for tourists and researchers alike.
