Contributed by Penobscot Marine Museum

Description

The Harrington Town Hall is shown in a photo taken about a year before it burned in a large fire in 1911.

On April 28, 1911, the Grange Hall caught fire. Dry conditions caused the fire to spread very rapidly. The Grange Hall, Baptist Church, school, and Town Hall all went up in flames. House and barns owned by Howard Small, Charles Leighton, Azro Nash, Louis Nash, and Moses Nash all burned.

The fire lasted only two hours.
