The
Bangor House decorated for the visit of President Grant in
October, 1871. Grant, his entourage, and the Governor
General of Canada stayed overnight in the best rooms of the
Bangor House, which is elaborately decorated with bunting,
flags, and mottoes. Grant made a brief speech from the
balcony as well as several other public remarks at
receptions in his honor. Bangor was so thoroughly decorated
that bunting had to be rented from Boston, and British flags
borrowed from Canada. Businesses and private homes eagerly
tried to out-do each other, and the celebrations were to
culminate with an elaborate illumination along the
streets--unfortunately, rain descended to douse lights, but
not enthusiasm. (info courtesy Bangor Public Library) |
