This tour will guide you through the village of Kingfield, Maine, highlighting the many significant historical buildings. Being a self guided tour, you can start at any point along the way.

Click on the headphones at the beginning of each written narrative and it will be read to you. There are signs on most of the buildings to identify them as a tour stop.

If there are dots under the stop's title, click on them to view pictures and videos of local people sharing their memories of these buildings and taking you back in history.

The Stanley Museum and Kingfield Historical House are often open for visitors, all other buildings must be viewed from the street.

Maps are included with each stop's description to aid you in walking the streets of the village and finding the next point of interest on the tour. Narrative walking directions start at the watering trough in the middle of town. Our descriptions of the buildings tell the history and their present day use and purpose. Each stop has a written narrative describing it, picture collections and some have short video's that bring the history alive.

We want to give credit for our ability to share so much of Kingfield's history to a team of local townspeople, who wrote the book, \"Kingfield, Maine 1816-1981\". They preserved most of the historical facts we have used in our narratives. Many of the black and white pictures that are included were part of another book the same group published about the same time, \"A Picture History of Kingfield, Maine 1816-1980\". We also extend a thank-you to all the towns people who consented to sharing their memories of Kingfield in the included videos.

The William Norton House, presently known as the One Stanley Avenue Restaurant, was built by Lavella Norton, a highly accomplished carpenter in the area, at the turn of the nineteenth century. He built it for his brother Willie Norton. Willie lived in the house for thirty years, while operating a cant-dog factory along the edge of the Mill Pond. Willie Norton sold his house circa 1931 to Cecil French, the first electrician in the area. The French family lived there another thirty years. Gardiner Defoe was the third owner.

Dan and Sue Davis bought the house in 1971 to start a restaurant They named the towering Victorian structure after its address. It was placed on the National register of Historic Places on May 8, 1976. During the ski season of 2021-2022, Davis will celebrate his 50th year of the One Stanley Avenue Restaurant being open.

This house was built in the 1890s and was the home of Kingfield's long time physician, Dr. Clarence J. Dunlap and his wife Dena Bearce Dunlap, a nurse. He was known as Doc and she was endearingly called Dee-Dee by their patients. They were a medical team for over 50 years and served all the town's people.

There are many stories that could be told of the many years Dr. Dunlap serviced the citizens of Kingfield. He healed animals as well as people. He once nursed a fox, known as Tommy, back to health that had been hit by a car. Tommy enjoyed bread pudding and could often be found curled up on the living room couch. Dr. Dunlap told this story himself, \" One time I walked six miles to save a man. He was working near his logging camp at Big Island with a double-bitted ax. As he brought the ax up, it hit a branch and came back down on the side of his head. The right side of his head had a cut about five inches long, and the man was bleeding badly. I was informed and left right away. I drove in my car for about fifty-three miles; then I came to Chain of Ponds. I crossed Chain of Ponds in a boat and then had to walk six miles over a trail that wasn't very good. When I got to his camp, he was still bleeding badly, I stopped the bleeding and sewed him up and he lived. For all the time I spent there saving the man, I didn't receive half of the pay that a doctor would get today. But, I believe saving a person's life is much more important that getting money.\"

In the early 1800s Solomon Stanley dammed up the Carrabassett River creating a river pond. In 1821 the citizens of Kingfield voted to finance a ferry boat for crossing to the east side, or as once called the British side. Solomon Stanley was elected as the ferryman earning $5.00 for each person who used it on a yearly basis. In 1845 the ferry was replaced by a float bridge for foot traffic. It was attached to each side by chains and could be unhooked in the middle during floods. Because this design failed often, money was appropriated in 1849 for a two way wagon and foot traffic covered bridge at the cost of $1,000. It blew down in 1851, leading to a chain bridge being built in 1852. The chains for the bridge were forged in England, being the first imported for such use. This may be why the east side was called the British side. Kingfield's rebellion against conscription to the Civil War in 1863 might be attributed to this. Unfortunately the weight in the winters from combined weight of snow along with snow rollers and teamsters, the bridge collapsed more than once.

In 1916, the state replaced the chain bridge with a 175 foot reinforced concrete span bridge, the longest such span in the world at that time. Since it was Kingfield's Centennial in 1916, the bridge was named the Centennial Bridge. It was widened in 1960 and despite floods and maximum truck loads, it is withstanding the test of time.

Stevens built an addition to the right side of the building. In 1900 Joseph Parker acquired permission at a town meeting to add an addition to the left side of the building eight feet out into the street, as it stands today. It has been a variety of businesses over the years such as a hat and bonnet shop, a Five and Dime Store, and a First National Store. At times there have been two rental apartments for families upstairs. For over a half a century it has been a restaurant, and sometimes even and inn, under different proprietors.

In June 1980 the Longfellow's Restaurant, named for a local mountain range, was opened by Chris and John Goldfrank, and continues to be owned by John, forty-one years later.

In 1880 it burned completely. In 1886, John Winter rebuilt a new hotel in the same spot calling it The Kingfield House. Documentation is vague as to the demise of The Kingfield House. It is not known if it burned or fell into disrepair. The present Herbert Hotel was built from the ground up or The Kingfield House may have been completely renovated in 1917 by Herbert S. Wing. Wing was a prominent local lawyer and statesman, president of Kingfield Savings Bank, owned one of the local wood turning mills, and was a lead founder and owner of the local electric company;

The Herbert Hotel opened its doors in 1918. Construction costs were $100,000 and the new hotel featured electricity and indoor plumbing. The Herbert Hotel was the first hotel north of Boston to feature in-room telephone service. It became a destination for bootleggers and where many political deals were made. It was said to have a speakeasy in the basement. When Herbert S. Wing lost the Republican primary for governor Wing got upset with the local townsfolk and shut down the town's electricity for several days to teach the people a lesson. Not in support of the New Deal, Wing set a policy of renting rooms only to those who could establish their membership in the Republican party. By 1934 Wing stopped renting rooms to the public. The hotel became his private residence for himself, his ailing wife, and his housekeeper. In 1956, Wing sold the hotel to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin P. Westman. The grand re-opening was December 20th with Mr. Wing living on the third floor. Mr. Wing did make an appearance that evening, but died four days later on Christmas Eve.

In 1958 Earl S. Wing, H.S. Wing's son, acquired the hotel back. Since then the hotel continued to have a lively past with many different owners, some memorable and some not so much. In 1977 the Kleins purchased the property during the disco-era naming it The Paradise in the Wilderness. During the winter of 1980 they accidentally double scheduled a tour bus full of Sugarloaf skiers. Some suspected a drug connection, leading to why the Kleins left Kingfield leaving the hotel unattended. Hence the furnace ran out of fuel causing pipes to burst resulting in great damage to the inside of the hotel.

By 1981 the hotel was placed in foreclosure and purchased by a group of investors from Chicago. Bud Dick, was hired to bring the hotel back to life. Bud inherited the mess of all messes and performed nothing short of a miracle. The skiers returned, the dining room and hotel were reopened, and the Herbert Hotel thrived again.

In 1998 Bud Dick fell ill, and the the hotel was leased to a middle-aged couple known only as the Uzmecks. Although they did not actually own the hotel, the Uzmecks proceeded to try and sell the hotel. Their fraud was uncovered. Two buyers later, in 2009 Rob Gregor and his wife purchased the hotel and Rob's mother, Dawn, ran the hotel with quiet grace until her recent death. Presently it is owned by it's roughly 17th owner, but accurate count of the many owners may have been lost over time.

In 2014 the Maine Ghost Hunters met at the Herbert Hotel and made contact with spirits who have been constant guests at the \"Palace in the Wilderness\".

It is not known if it burned or fell into disrepair. The present Herbert Hotel was built from the ground up or The Kingfield House may have been completely renovated in 1917 by Herbert S. Wing. Wing was a prominent local lawyer and statesman, president of Kingfield Savings Bank, owned one of the local wood turning mills, and was a lead founder and owner of the local electric company;The Herbert Hotel opened its doors in 1918. Construction costs were $100,000 and the new hotel featured electricity and indoor plumbing. The Herbert Hotel was the first hotel north of Boston to feature in-room telephone service. It became a destination for bootleggers and where many political deals were made. It was said to have a speakeasy in the basement. When Herbert S. Wing lost the Republican primary for governor Wing got upset with the local townsfolk and shut down the town's electricity for several days to teach the people a lesson. Not in support of the New Deal, Wing set a policy of renting rooms only to those who could establish their membership in the Republican party. By 1934 Wing stopped renting rooms to the public. The hotel became his private residence for himself, his ailing wife, and his housekeeper. In 1956, Wing sold the hotel to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin P. Westman. The grand re-opening was December 20th with Mr. Wing living on the third floor. Mr. Wing did make an appearance that evening, but died four days later on Christmas Eve. In 1958 Earl S. Wing, H. S. Wing's son, acquired the hotel back. Since then the hotel continued to have a lively past with many different owners, some memorable and some not so much.

A blacksmith shop sat on the corner of Depot and Main Street in 1853. In 1899 it was rebuilt into two store fronts with apartments on the upper floors. At that time there was a small ally between the two buildings. The right building was the Larrabee Block housing the Harris and Knapp Grocery Store. At one time there were even gas pumps on the curbside. The left building was L.L. Mitchell's Drug Store from 1900 to 1938 after being across the street in the building where Annie's Market is. In later years both buildings were ski shops under different proprietors and even housed a ski museum. Presently the store fronts are vacant.

The second floor of the Mitchell Block became home to the Governor King's Lodge No. 143 I.O.O.F. (Independent Order of Odd Fellows). They were chartered in 1905 and met initially in the Redman's Hall in the French Block. In 1945 the Odd Fellows and ladies group, the Carrabassett Rebekah Lodge No. 123, I.O.O.F. bought the building. After 35 years, they sold the buildings in 1980 to a retail business. At that time construction connected the two buildings as they are seen today.

In the early 1800s Kingfield's schools were organized into districts with one educational setting at all four corners of the village. Originally, the intown school was in the barn of what is known on this historical walk as the Stanley Homestead, across the river on Maple Street. In 1875 the town built a two-story school house without a basement. Despite only having four rooms, it housed all the grades, primary through high school for 29 years until Stanley School was built in 1904. Records of the annual town meeting in 1888 document that the primary teacher was paid $1.75 a week, the intermediate to higher grade teacher was paid $4.50 a week. In addition, the supervisor of the school was paid $1.50 a day. In 1894 it was decided at a town meeting that out-of-town scholars would be charged a tuition of twenty-five cents a week. In 1899 water was piped into the building. In 1911 a school physician was hired for a salary of $25.00 a year. Ten years after becoming the Primary School, it was raised to build a basement that included a new furnace and modern plumbing at the cost of a thousand dollars. It 1969 it closed, having being a school for 84 years. There were many interesting stories over those 84 years, but one from 1913 if especially memorable. School was closed early that year on October 9th, so all school children could go to the train station and see Joe Knowles when he arrived in Kingfield. It is said he spent 60 days in the wild without any provisions. He stepped off the train dressed in clothes made from wild animal hides. It was an exciting day for the school children experiencing an early version of a field trip.

What is now The Inn on Winter's Hill was built during the years of 1900 to 1904 for the Amos G. Winter Sr. family, who owned the grocery story at the foot of the hill. Plans for the house were designed by F.O. Stanley, one of the Stanley brothers. It is a significant example of Georgian Colonial Revival architecture, unusual for our rural area. L.avella Norton, the local master carpenter, built it with local help. They named their house Hillhom. The family resided in it until 1950, when it was sold to a local doctor, Dr. B. Covert. He moved his family in and made some alterations to the building creating a dispensary and medical office.

It was then sold in the early 1970s and established as an inn. Over the past fifty years it has remained an inn under different proprietors. In the 1980s it was a Ski Touring Center for cross-country skiers, with 40 miles of trails connecting it to Deer Farm Camps on the Tufts Pond Road in Kingfield. It even provided a full line of equipment to head out onto the trails.

At various times the Inn has boasted inside and outside swimming pools, tennis courts, a French restaurant and bar, along with eloquent accommodations. For those traveling through Kingfield, it remains open to the public. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1976.

What is now the Mount Abram Regional Community Health Clinic was built in 1884 as a dry goods store by Amos G. Winter Sr., a prominent businessman in town. He introduced the delivery system in the village, delivering groceries himself by horse and buggy. The Narrow Gauge Railway Trains not only stopped just up the street at the train depot-hence why it was called Depot Street, but also stopped behind the dry goods store. Winter installed an engine in the store to grind grain and corn on the second floor, which were then dropped into open train cars via a grain flu. The store's inventory started to grow over the years to include far more than just groceries, thanks to delivery via the train. His home, HIllholm was up the hill looking down at his mill and store, presently known as The Inn on Winter's Hill.

After a member of the Winter family had been running the store for 71 years, A.G. Winter's son, Amos Winter Jr., who went on to create Sugarloaf Mountain, sold the store in 1955 to Harold S. Tranten, known to all townspeople as Fat Tranten. It was a family business with Fat, his wife Mary as cashier, and their son Neal as meat cutter. The store was big enough to also include two full time workers and many grandchildren who learned how to cut meat and add up grocery orders. Groceries were still delivered two times a week when orders were called in.

For almost two decades, Neal became the town clerk and ran the town office at a roll top desk in the back corner of the store, writing out fishing licenses, collecting town taxes, and even preforming shot-gun marriages between waiting on customers at the meat counter. The store's inventory, in addition to groceries, included clothes and shoes, toys, dishes, glass that was cut to order, hardware, kerosene and gas, penny candy out of a glass case, comics on a turn-style, ice cold soda out of an old Coco-Cola water chest, and everyone's favorites rat cheese cut by hand by the counter. Neal brought delicatessen to Kingfield by offering Italian sandwiches at the meat counter. At one time they even sold Moped bikes out front. After Fat Tranten's passing in 1975, his son Neal operated the store until 1987- mostly because a buggy of groceries might roll from end of the store to the other because of the 103 year old aging floors, he and his sons built a new store at the north end of town.

Neal's wife, Mozelle Tranten, saw an opportunity with the old building and formed a committee of town's people to renovate it and create the Mount Abram Regional Health Clinic. Her desire was to have it provide health services to all local people. Today it is still thriving as such.

Before bearing the Knapp's family name, the building was a livery stable formerly run by Joseph Witham and, before him, Irving Pottle. Ray D. Knapp bought the building in 1910 when it was a three and half story building with stalls for horses in the basement. Ray Knapp operated it as a livery stable until 1924. His 16 year old brother Clyde, came to live with him after the death of their mother. While attending school, Clyde helped in the livery. Horses with carriages or sleighs were rented either with or without drivers. The brothers often met trains in North Anson to take salesman around the loop through Lexington, Flagstaff, Stratton, Kingfield, and back to Anson. Lumberman were taken locally or as far as the Canadian border. The local doctors were driven on their house calls. Travel was not always easy with spring mud season and the chill of winter when fur robes, extra coats, heated soap-stones, and hot coals were needed to provide warmth to their customers. In 1915, Ray acquired his first automobile. The last of the horses were sold from the livery by 1924, when cars were more in use than horse and buggy.

In 1926 Clyde bought half of the business from his brother Ray. At the beginning they sold Model Ts and Model As. Over the years they did sell Chryslers and Plymouths and from 1935 they were a Dodge dealership. Even when cars became more popular, the roads were hardly plowed. Knapp's carried snowmobiles, which at that time were full size cars. These cars had lags attached to the wheels in back, and skis on the front, instead of tires. They could travel more easily over the winter roads. During the Depression years the sale of cars came to a halt. During this time they sold washing machines, refrigerators and radios. Their taxi service, know as Public Cars, carried them through this difficult time also. Long before school buses became common, Knapp Brother's cars would transport students to neighboring towns for athletic events. In 1952, Ray retired and Clyde continued the business with his sons Norman and Clinton. Knapp's Auto was often awarded customer and community service awards by the Dodge Company.

In the effort of \"affording and encouraging useful, and entertaining reading , to provide literary and scientific lecturers and other means of promoting moral and intellectual improvements in Kingfield and vicinity.\" a group of residents, in 1901, formed a library association and began to raise money for a new library building in Kingfield. John C. Webster, of Hartford, Connecticut, a Kingfield native, increased his initial donation from $25.00 to $250.00. Out of respect of this benefactor, the association was named \"Webster Library Association.\" The association met bi-monthly with the usual officers. Chair-people were appointed in topics of literature, science, and art, providing papers or lecturers for their meetings. A critic was also appointed to correct the English or pronunciation of those who read or spoke at the meetings. The association met at various places in the village until the building was built two decades later.

In 1922, John C. Webster bequeathed the association $10,000. He also left a sum of another $10,000 to the village for a town hall. A common building was considered, but no suitable site was found. At the annual town meeting in 1928, Article #36 was to consolidate the two sums and to be handled by a Board of Trustees for the library association. The board to be appointed was to have full charge of the expenditures of both funds and the disbursement of all proceeds for the building or purchasing of a new library building, along with the care and upkeep. Many town citizens felt that all or at least half of the money was given to the town for the purpose of two buildings. With a total of 139 votes, 86 yes, and 53 no votes establishing a board that comprised of three trustees appointed at town meeting and four appointed by the library association with full control of the funds.

The association purchased a lot on the corner of Depot Street and School Street from Earland Winter in May 1930. Raymond Mayo, an architect, was hired to plan and build the library. It was built for a sum of $7,000.00. A year later, June 13th,1931,the present building was completed, furnished, and ready to open its door as the town library. In 2021, the Webster Free Library building is 90 years old. Despite this, its mission statement resembles the one written by the Webster Library Association in 1901. Today it states; \"The Webster Free Library of Kingfield, Maine, strives to provide services to meet the educational, informational, cultural, and recreational needs of the area in and around Kingfield.\"

Kingfield continues to have a wood turning mill, Kingfield Wood Products. This mill was the Huse Spool and Bobbin Company, which opened on July 11,1900. It was then bought by H.S. Wing in 1916. After his death in 1956, his son Earl S. Wing ran it until 1968, when it was sold and became Kingfield Wood Products.

Next door, is the New England Wire Products factory at the upper end of Depot Street, where they build plastic coated wire shelving. It was originally a wood mill created by three gentlemen Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Savage, who built the mill on what had been part of Governor King's farm. The sole business owner by 1893 was Mr. Jenkins, when it became Jenkins and Bogart Manufacturing. It was purchased in 1896 and run for many years by Horace G. Winter, son-in-law of Mr. Jenkins. He was superintendent of the mill until his death in 1902. In 1932 it was incorporated as H.G. Winter and Sons. Over the years they made Foley Rolling Pins, lamp and furniture parts, pepper grinders and salt shakers, wooden nickels, fishing line spools, thread spools, molecular model sets, trophy columns, and body rollers.

It should be noted wood turning mills have been the back bone of this community, employing many of the residents of the village for more than two centuries. For many of these mills only old pictures remain. There were mills down along the river. Around 1870 Charles French had a mill across from the Mill Pond, which later became the Ben Lander's Mill and burned in 1933. We have included an old picture of this as viewed down behind the French Block.

The present day Kingfield Historical House was built in 1890 by Frank Hutchins for his bride, Effie Winter. Effie had grown up, just across the street in Governor King’s house. She, not her husband-to-be, was the one who actually purchased the land for $400.00 to build the house on. It was a big year for the young couple, they were to be married and build a house, with few knowing it was Effie's property. Early in the spring of 1890, the local newspaper, The Wild Wood's Echo, reported that F.D. Hutchins had most of the lumber cut and on the property ready to build the house. He may have started building some of the house himself but did hire the local carpenter Novella Norton to finish it. A boiler was installed in the basement of the house like the one at the local mill to heat the house. The newlyweds moved in in 1891. Frank set up a business in the basement selling wooden coffins becoming the local undertaker. He expanded his business to include repairs of wagons and bicycles along with selling paints and other supplies. He eventually closed these businesses and did local carpentry, including remodeling his house for rentals.

The house was a social center for the village. Frank and Effie were highly involved with the churches, with many meetings held at their home, which may have been because it was toasty warm in the winter thanks to the boiler providing heat. They even had weddings in the parlor. Frank died while living in the house in 1941 at the age of 86. Seven months earlier, he and Effie had quietly celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on May first. Effie had lived in the house for fifty-four years when she sold it to her neighbors, Charles and Alma Wilson in 1944. They never lived in it; instead, it became a mother-in-law house for Mr. Wilson's mother and her servants who lived here for four years before she passed away. Afterwards it became a rental house for the Wilsons. In 1967, the Wilson's gave the house to the Kingfield Historical Society, which was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1987- mostly because of it's boiler furnace.

The Kingfield Fire Department was formed in 1898. As of 2021, there has been a fire department in Kingfield for 123 years. In that same year, the first hose was purchased, being a 2 & 1/2 inch, 750 foot long rubber hose. There was no fire house structure during the 1800s in Kingfield, yet it was documented in several town warrants and subsequent minutes that money had been raised by taxes to fight fires in Kingfield. In 1892 buckets and ladders were purchased. In 1893 the watering trough, which sits approximately in the center of town now, was constructed down the street by the present Herbert Hotel. At that time it was for watering horses and filling buckets for possible fires in the village, which had destroyed parts of the town in the past. It sat there for 11 years until it was moved to it's present spot. Water pipes were connected to it in 1899. In 1900, the big step was taken and $350.00 was raised and the Firehouse was built, which sat on the Carrabassett River across the street from the Primary School House. Initially it was called The Hose House because only buckets, ladders and hoses were stored there. Hoses were hooked to hydrants and fires were fought for as long as the hose would stretch, then the buckets were used. Fire hydrants started to be installed along the streets of Kingfield as the water pipes to homes were installed. Hydrants were installed on Stanley Avenue in 1901 and on High Street in 1905. In 1902 Kingfield purchased a hose cart which was used until 1950. It was pulled by men and horses. Horses were also housed at the Hose House. A fire alarm was installed in the Hose House in 1919, not only for villagers to be alerted there was a fire in town, but to summon all volunteer firefighters to the rescue. In 1902 there was an article in the annual town warrant that no hoses or ladders purchased by the town of Kingfield could be loaned from the Hose House. Also in that year, the first fire captain, A.G Thurston, was appointed. The first salaries, of $50.00, was raised for the fire department at the 1908 town meeting.

The Fire Department started to modernize about 1948, when the Fire House on School Street, then known as Winter's barn, was reconstructed for the town's Fire House. Citizens helped to rebuild the structure. A room was built on the second floor, and became known as the Community Hall. The first fire truck was purchased in 1950, the second in 1951. An extension was built onto the back of the house and initially had a dirt floor. In 1964, a cement floor was poured in it. At that time it was suggested this room be used for a town office. In 1965 it happened and the back room to the Fire Station became the Kingfield Town Office. It was voted to purchase a new fire truck in 1969, not to exceed $14,000. This required a third bay, thus the three door fire house.

Today Kingfield has a modern Fire House at the north end of town, still manned by a well trained volunteer department. This retired Fire House served a grand purpose and hosted many town happenings in the past.

King was a well accomplished businessman in shipbuilding and manufacturing, having built the first cotton mill in Maine. King's political career was starting about this time and is significant to Maine's history. Although he was not a permanent resident of Kingfield, he encouraged people to come and settle the area. It is recorded that his wife suggested the name of the village to be Kingsfield. The s was dropped over time. Governor King established various industries along the river, including a saw mill, a fulling mill, a dye house, a grist mill, and a tannery. King's Mansion did have a large barn which burned in December of 1934. The memorial stone was erected in 1916, in celebration of Kingfield's Centennial.

In 1903 the Stanley School construction began in response to the population of students in Kingfield outgrowing the four room schoolhouse on Main Street. Three small parcels of land were purchased on the west side of High Street for a sum of $125.00 from three land owners. A committee was formed to develop two possibilities: a school large enough to house all the school children or plans to accommodate the higher grades only. The price of the building was not to exceed $8,000. The final accepted plans were for the upper grades only, and Kingfield would then have two school buildings. The outside would conform to F.O. Stanley's plans, and the inside would be designed by the carpenter who would build it, Lavella Norton. In August of 1903, work on the foundation began.
