Description

Two girls are pictured doing pull-ups during a gym class at the Maine School for the Deaf (later known as the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf), 85 Spring St., Portland.

The residential school was founded in 1894. It stressed speech and lip-reading.

Since 2001, it is known as the Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The building on Mackworth Island however, is still legally called the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf.
