First Baptist Church, Sedgwick, Maine Benjamin Deane, architect. 1837.


It's on the National Register of Historic Buildings, but it needs help. The architect, Benj. Deane, did a number of notable buildings in Downeast Maine, including the Washington County Courthouse, at Machias. The Sedgwick Baptist congregation was established in 1805. Some disputatious members hived off in the 1840s, as Baptists tend to do, and started a new congregation, and a new town, across the Benjamin River--Brooklin, Maine.
