Description
Sunrise Fireplace on the campus of Good Will-Hinckley as it appeared shortly after construction in 1933. The fireplace was formally opened in late September of that year, and George Walter Hinckley, founder of Good Will, described it as a "wonderful night - cloudless sky, motionless foliage, space of ledge and formal stone work, wild shrubs and a background of dark and silent hemlocks - the glow of the fire lighting the faces and forms" of Good Will boys and girls. The tablets placed on the fireplace were devoted to literary passages on quadrupeds. Two of the tablets were placed in honor of George Henry Quincy and William L. Bidwell. A Third tablet was dedicated as a memorial to friends in Kenduskeag.
