Many of Bangor's churches are visible, their steeples dominating the skyline. From left to right: St John's Episcopal Church, 1844-46, Nathan B. Wiggin; an unidentified steeple; the steeple of the First Baptist Church, 1828-29, probably by Charles G. Bryant, superimposed against the double steeples of the Universalist Church, 1860-62, Harvey Graves, architect; the steeple-less old Universalist Church, later turned into a building for the Joseph O'B. Darling & Co. boot and shoe factory; the Central Congregational Church, 1853, Harvey Graves architect, the Union Street Methodist Episcopal Church in the background, 1854-55, Harvey Graves architect.
