Description: Bangor, MAINE - Unitarian Church, Main & Union Streets -1909: Bangor is a city in the U.S. state of Maine and the county seat of Penobscot County. The city proper has a population of 33,039, making it the state's 3rd-largest settlement, behind Portland (66,882) and Lewiston (36,221). Modern Bangor was established in the mid-19th century with the lumber and shipbuilding industries. Lying on the Penobscot River, logs could be floated downstream from the Maine North Woods and processed at the city's water-powered sawmills, then shipped from Bangor's port to the Atlantic Ocean 30 miles (48 km) downstream, and from there to any port in the world. Evidence of this is still visible in the lumber barons' elaborate Greek Revival and Victorian mansions and the 31-foot-high (9.4 m) statue of Paul Bunyan. Today, Bangor's economy is based on services and retail, healthcare, and education. Currently the church is call The Storehouse. From its website: "Seeing a need to help the growing homeless and "working needy" in our area, We began to implement plans to do one job well. It began with clothing the ones who needed it and providing tents and sleeping bags for those who "sleep out." The Storehouse was formed to receive and sort quality clothing to meet immediate needs. As a side benefit we began to have local agencies contact us for free clothing of their clients. Also those seeking employment are able to get "interview clothing". Now we operate on Tuesday and Thursday free clothing and help setting up with agencies that provide housewares." This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1919, is in good condition, but shows some edge wear. C. B. Woolworth & Co. Bangor, Me. No.E6705.
