Park Cannon

Here on Munjoy Hill this cannon looks to be protecting the houses on the hill, and its history would tell you that's not far from wrong. These homes, overlooking Casco Bay, are some of my favorites in the city. This one is a house I'd love to live in. What views! Unlike a lot of people, I kill time up here near Fort Allen Park often. I get immense pleasure traveling some of these back streets, that as a kid I just remember viewing fleetingly out a bus window. But I do recall them even today.

    This old house looks very much like our local museum piece, "Spitler House," operated by the Brookville Historical Society. I don't think it is as nice as your fine house but it is the only example in the Queen Anne style anywhere in this area.

    You can see that one here.

    I wonder how many times we passed each other on the Prom and perhaps even nodded and said hello.
