Photo 74-AKE-9

Comments

Area of 2040 N Belfast Ave, Augusta, ME.

At the far right top is the rear of 8 Albee Street, though I do not know of any changes as this can not be seen from roads. Between this house and the garage is the Whitney Brook.
At the bottom right is 2026 N Belfast Ave - this home has been modernized with new siding and windows, and the driveway has been expanded.
The garage and the associated structures were demolished sometime prior to the 2000s, and replaced with a propane/oil filling station for commercial use. Within the last year this equipment was removed, and the lot is now empty.
The house to the left (2042 N Belfast Ave) of the commercial garage looks almost identical to what is seen here, as do the next to up the road (approx. 2046 and 2050 N Belfast Road, right and left).
Across the street is 2035 (center, bottom), 2039 (hidden behind the tree center left), and 2043 N Belfast Ave. 2039 can not bee seen in this photo, though many of those trees are gone today. The other two, 2035 and 2043, look similar to as seen here.

2031 hidden in the trees bottom center with the tall tree in the front yard was 29 before renumbering, next to Whitney brook. Built by my great grandfather, home of my grandparents, where I lived in the 50’s and 60’s.
