- Bangor Lumbering & The Fire of 1911

- Date posted
- 20 years ago
- Description
- Producer Barbara Noyes Pulling talks about the challenge of telling the story of Bangor's illustrious past as the "Lumber Capital of the World" in a way that it hadn't been widely told before. In combing through the archival images from this era of the mid-to-late 1800's, she saw photos depicting Bangor buildings of that day that look little like those we see there now. Then the answer becomes obvious -- the 1911 fire that charred 55 acres and destroyed 300 buildings in, the worst disaster in Bangor's history, brought home the necessity of finding more durable and less fire-prone materials, giving rise to the granite and brick structures that dominate today's architecture in Bangor.

- You know those Hollywood movie scenes where it's supposed to be snowing, but the snow isn't real and it's probably 85 degrees on the set? This isn't about one of those scenes. This segment, featuring segment producer Anita Clearfield, is about shooting the "Morning in Winter" segment of Maine Experience on a very real, very frigid Maine winter day. The idea was to accurately portray what a typical Maine winter morning was like over a hundred years ago and the crew and actors got a bit more reality in that regard than they bargained for. Fortunately the soapstone bedwarmers of the day used in the piece were also real, and they were put to use by the crew to warm something else entirely.
