Can you help me outdate my house?

April 18th, 2010

I live in a mid century time capsule house that was built in 1952. I am working on making most of what’s inside authentically from the 50’s and 60’s. I really need a pair of living room table lamps from that time, bedroom curtains and more. I have scoured all of the local antique shops and craigslist but haven’t found what I’m seeking.

If you know of anyone in Southern Maine who has outdated furnishings from the 50’s or 60’s and wishes to sell them to someone who will give them a new home, please contact me. Thanks!

1949 Lewiston-Auburn Telephone Directory Book

March 28th, 2010

This is not a reproduction, but a true vintage phone book from Lewiston-Auburn dated October, 1949.

In addition to residential names, addresses and phone numbers it has a large business listing section!

If you’re into genealogy or the history of Lewiston-Auburn, this is great fun to look at!
