Kittery Community Center
The Kittery Community Center is located in the former Frank C. Frisbee Elementary School at 120 Rogers Road in Kittery, Maine. The building, built in 1943 by the United States government as part of war-related expansions of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 for this association. It served Kittery as a school until 2009, and was converted for use as a multi-function community center in 2011-12, providing space for arts, culture, and recreational activities.〔Brockway, Lucinda; Masury, Ann (2012).

==Description and history==
The Kittery Community Center is located in southern Kittery, on the east side of Rogers Road (Maine State Route 236), between it and an inlet of Spruce Creek, and is accessed via Goodsoe Road. It is set amid the former school's athletic fields and surrounding woodlands, through which a trail network has been built. The building is a long multi-section structure, oriented northwest to southeast. The northernmost section, 23 bays long, is the oldest portion, built in 1941; it has a hip roof topped by cupola, and a slightly-projecting three-bay section at its center, where the original main entrance is located, framed by a pilastered and pedimented surround. South of this block is the gymnasium/auditorium, added in 1943, which provides what is now used as the main entrance. This section is oriented perpendicular to the original school, but is not as long. South of this is the Annex, built in 1951, which effectively doubled the school's size.〔
The Frisbee School was built in 1941 under a contract issued by the federal War Public Works program. Because of World War II, the government was increasing work at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (located on islands in the Piscataqua River in southern Kittery), and built this school to meet the needs of the larger workforce employed there and housed at the new Admiralty Village development. The school remained the property of the federal government until 1948, but was operated by the town as part of its school system. With the end of the Cold War, activity at the shipyard declined, resulting in a general population decline in the area. The town closed the school in 2009, and it underwent conversion to the community center in 2011-12.〔
