Strathglass Building
The Strathglass Building is a historic commercial building at 33 Hartford Street in the central business district of Rumford, Maine. Built c. 1910, it is an imposing four-story architect-designed Beaux Arts building, constructed by Hugh J. Chisholm, Rumford's leading industrialist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Later known as the Hotel Harris, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.〔
==Description and history==
The Strathglass Building stands on a slightly non-rectangular lot bounded on three sides by Congress, Lowell, and Hartford Streets. It is a four-story brick structure, with the bays of the first three floors separated by engaged limestone fluted columns. The main entrance is set under a two-story arch supported by square stone piers, and topped by a triangular pediment at the top of the third floor. When originally built, the building only had three stories, and had a concrete balustrade with urns; this was removed at a later date when the fourth floor was built.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Strathglass Building )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination photos for Strathglass Building )〕
The building was designed by the architectural firm of Stone, Carpenter & Willson, based in Providence, Rhode Island, and was completed c. 1910. It was built for Hugh J. Chisholm, the industrialist responsible for Rumford's development in the late 19th century as a major paper processing center. Chisholm named the building after the river in Scotland which flows near his family's traditional seat. Chisholm also gave the Strathglass name to the Strathglass Park District, an area of high-quality mill worker housing in Rumford.〔
