Bangor Children's Home

The Bangor Children's Home was an asylum for orphans at 218 Ohio Street in Bangor, Maine. Established in 1839 by the Maine Legislature as the Bangor Female Orphan Asylum, it served the community in that role until 1975, after which its facilities were converted into the Hilltop School and day-care center. Its main building, constructed in 1869, is one of the state's earliest examples of Stick style architecture, and an important early work of the architect Henry W. Hartwell, later of Hartwell and Richardson. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Description and history

The former Bangor Children's Home is located northwest of downtown Bangor, high on the east side of Thomas Hill, just below Summit Park. It is a two story brick building, set on a granite foundation. It has a dormered mansard roof, which provides for a full third story. The dormers are gabled, with most housing one or two sash windows, although there is one with a Palladian window arrangement. All have applied Stick style elements at the gable ends. The main floors are separated by a projecting belt course of brick. The upper level windows are set in segmented-arch openings, with flanking brickwork bracketed framing. The main entrance is sheltered by an elaborate porte-cochere with a shallow-pitch pyramidal roof.

Timothy Goes to School is an American/Canadian children's animated cartoon series based on the series of Yoko and other individual books by Rosemary Wells such as "Shy Charles", "Fritz and the Mess Fairy" and "Noisy Nora", but is titled after the book of the same name. It primarily features a young enthusiastic raccoon named Timothy (voiced by Austin Di Iulio), who attends a fictional primary school called "Hilltop School" along with ten other students (each of which are of different animals), who are mainly friends of him and each other. The kindergarten class is taught by Mrs. Jenkins, a comforting teacher who enjoys educating and helping her students.
