Description

Bangor is delightfully situated. It is intersected by the Kenduskeag stream, on either side of which are sunny hills covered with lovely homes. The business portion of the town is located on the low land bordering the stream and fronting the broad Penobscot River. The streets throughout the city are lined with magnificent shade-trees, the elm predominating. Elegant residences abound, and well-kept lawns and beautiful gardens are the rule rather than the exception.
