SAGADAHOC PRESERVATION, INC. (SPI)
A nonprofit corporation dedicated to
the preservation of buildings possessing architectural or historic merit.
SPI's
present and future mission is to preserve and maintain the Bath area's
(Bath, Maine, USA) fine architectural heritage through the creation of
a historic district commission, the promotion of stewardship, and the
use of protective covenants. One of SPI's goals is to continue educational
programs on architectural heritage in Bath's schools and to provide an
architectural awareness to all.
SPI was founded in 1971, first, to save the
Winter Street Church, long overlooking Bath's City Park, from scheduled
demolition and, second, to support the preservation of Bath's distinctive
architectural legacy increasingly threatened by loss.
Since its formation SPI has been instrumental
in preserving the "Chocolate Church", a fine Gothic Revival
structure now housing the Center for the Arts, and has been a major player
in the 19th century restoration of the downtown business district. SPI
has completed an architectural survey of all buildings built in Bath before
1920. Two federally designated National Register Historic Districts as
well as a city historic district exists in Bath due directly to the efforts
of SPI.
Since SPI receives little or no public funding
and is dependent upon gifts and memberships to accomplish its objectives,
please consider supporting our organization by becoming a member.
