"Maine is situated within a tract of 230,000 acres of land known as the “Boston Purchase.”
This tract was purchased by a group of sixty residents of Berkshire County, Massachusetts
in 1787 for three-hundred and thirty-three Spanish dollars (twelve and one-half cents an
acre)."
"In 1848, the population of Maine was approximately 1,800 persons. In 1880, there were
2,129 persons. The population then declined; in 1915 there were only 1,339 persons. The
population then began to increase and by 1970 there were 5,842. In the 2000 census,
there were 5,459 people in the Town of Maine."
The building is new and functional, rather than old with character. It is a plain grayish color with white trim. The seal over the doors has a picture of the gazebo in the town park, which has more personality than this building. For some reason they have 2 doors. It looks like a button combination lock on one of them.
