Description and history
The Buxton Powder Magazine is a small brick building, about Шаблон:Convert in size, with a pyramidal roof and a granite foundation. It stands in a wooded area, about Шаблон:Convert west of Long Plains Road (Maine State Route 22). Its walls are about Шаблон:Convert thick. A heavy wooden door is attached via two wrought iron hinges. The walls of the interior are lined with wooden shelves.[2]
After the War of 1812 broke out in March 1812, the town voted to construct a magazine for the storage of its military supplies, which had been held in a private residence. This building was completed in 1813 by Theodore Elwell for $59, and was used to house the town supply of gunpowder, lead ball, flints, and other supplies. It is only one of three such town-built structures in the state; the others are in Hallowell and Wiscasset.[2]
