Community Center

Up on the Hill, you'll find the St. Lawrence Arts and Community Center. The St. Lawrence Church itself was dedicated in 1897 and filled the entire city block between Beckett and Munjoy Streets. Although it flourished for nearly 100 years, it recently fell into disrepair and was dissolved and deconsecrated as a church. I think it is still one of the most interesting features of Munjoy Hill. I've eaten breakfast at the Front Room, walked to the top of the Portland Observatory, watched the fireworks on July 4th on the Prom, stopped in to look at art at Elizabeth Fraser's studio, but have never stepped foot in this building. Some of the programs look very interesting. I need to visit this place this summer, for sure.

    I think this is a beautiful red door with different details!
    Very artistic!

    I've seen many wonderful productions inside those doors, Birdman. You must definitely give it a try.

    I would love to see the eastside of our country someday. Your photos always make me think this.

    Love that striking door and the fact that they have beer tastings.

    So are the pocket things for notices, keeping them safe from the weather? Good idea.

    I love that colorful notice holder on the door. It just seems to fit.
    I saw your comment about the heat this weekend in Phoenix. I escaped it for the weekend and went up to the mountains! It was much cooler there.

    In that case, Birdman, it is your fault that it is in decline. Hurry! Maybe there is time for them to reverse it.
