Maintenance Programming Manual for Historic Buildings
John Leeke
This manual is intended to establish a procedure for developing a maintenance program for your building. Every building is different and no single program will suit everyone's needs. The staff and money available also varies. But the less money an organization has for buildings, the more they need a maintenance program to spend precious resources effectively. In order to create your own program, it is essential to understand the procedures involved. That is the purpose of this manual.

The Blaine House: A Brief History and Guide
H. Draper Hunt and George K. Clancey
Few executive mansions in the United States have such rich historical associations as the Blaine House, the official residence of Maine's governors. From 1862 until his death in 1893, it was home to James Gillespie Blaine and his family. Blaine bestrode the political world like a colossus in the post-Civil War "Gilded Age." Dazzling, charismatic, worshiped by his friends, loathed by his enemies, ( contemporaries called him variously the ''Plumed Knight of the Republican Party" and the "continental liar from the State of Maine"), he dominated the Maine Republican party for a generation, served brilliantly as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives; United States Senator; trail-blazing Secretary of State for the two Presidents, and in 1884 came within a whisker of winning the Presidency of the United States himself.
