History

The history of Addison is based upon the natural resources that drove the local and regional economy, including fishing and boat building. Early residents engaged successfully in a variety of businesses. Many current residents can trace their families back to the town’s early days, and continue to work in maritime industries. Addison still enjoys many of the benefits from our past, as a small town with a strong sense of community, where people look out for one another. While encouraging new development, the town should seek to maintain a link to our heritage through the protection of historically significant buildings, and we should continue to collect and preserve our historic records.

Population

The population of Addison has grown slightly over the long term. Our population is aging. The numbers of school age children have declined, as decreasing local school enrollments have shown. As with Washington County, our town has seen a decrease in the average household size. More retirees and single parent households are found. Limited employment opportunities, as described in later sections, help explain the decline in the numbers of young families residing in Addison. The town should continue to make demographic information available to residents and should remain mindful of the needs of our changing population.

Natural Resources

Addison currently offers protection to its natural resources with locally adopted shoreland zoning regulations, land use and subdivision regulations. These ordinance provisions will be updated to be consistent with the minimum requirements of state and federal regulations as is mandated and to ensure that Addison retains its fishing village character. The importance of commercial fisheries to Addison cannot be overestimated. Protecting public shore and water access and maintaining a healthy balance of the industry and natural beauty is crucial especially in light of the rate of coastal development. The existing marine districts will be reviewed to ensure that they protect the rights of marine and commercial marine related activities while accommodating some residential development. The town will seek to ensure that traditional use of lands and access to water are protected as development pressures increase over the planning period.

Economy

The top three sectors of employment for Addison are ‘Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, mining’; ‘Education, health and social services’; and ‘Retail trade. The top sector is comprised nearly entirely of marine based work. The second sector mainly constitutes those employed by the public schools. Addison’s median household income increased considerably (53.6%) since 1990 and marginally surpasses median income in the county but is considerably lower than median income in the state. However, Addison had a considerable decrease (-41.1%) in total taxable sales for the period of 1997 to 2002. In addition almost 15 percent of Addison families had incomes below the poverty level in 2000, which included 244 individuals, a ratio comparable to Washington County. With the aging of our population, the size of our workforce continues to decrease. Living in a rural area limits employment opportunities and increases the costs of commuting to the service centers where many of the newly created jobs are located. Our local government should strive to encourage and maintain appropriate marine based development that will better employ residents. Growth needs to be channeled to areas of town capable of handling development while incurring minimal cost to the municipality. The town will continue to encourage responsible commercial development through land use regulations, regional coordination and marketing.

Housing

Affordable housing is often defined as not costing more than 30% of household income. The data reviewed suggest that the cost of housing in Addison is affordable for most people in the community. However, the home price that could be afforded at the housing market median household income of $28,475 was $77,837.. Existing land use ordinances do not impose significant costs on the cost of building homes and the majority of people live in owner-occupied single-family housing. The desire for vacation homes on coastal properties by non-residents has raised the value, and assessment, of many properties in Addison. Many young families find that they must move inland to find affordable lots for new construction. There is a range of new housing in town, with mobile or manufactured homes often utilized. The percentage of homes owned by those in the workforce is likely to decline further while the percentage of homes owned by retirees - both those from away and natives - will increase.

Recreation

Addison has recreational opportunities that derive from the natural resources of the town, the region, and some municipal recreational facilities. Some of the town's most important recreational resources rely on shorefront access, which we should seek to maintain and improve.

Transportation

Transportation linkages in Addison consist of Addison Road in Columbia to Water Street at the Columbia town-line which connects the village area to Route 1 in the town of Columbia at the Four Corners. Water Street is the main thoroughfare through the village of Addison. It continues south and, after crossing the Pleasant River, forks at East Side Road which provides access to South Addison. The other fork provides a link with Route 187 where a turn north goes to Columbia Falls and a turn south goes to Jonesport at the Indian River boundary between the two towns. Connecting links to South Addison and Addison Point are provided off 187 down Basin Road. East Side and Basin Roads provide a perimeter corridor around the peninsula and West Side road provides access to the west side of the Pleasant River estuary and on into the neighboring town of Harrington.

Addison is reliant on its road network as the primary means of transportation movement. Therefore, local roads should provide safe, reliable access to work, school, stores, and residences. Overall, roadways in Addison are in relatively good condition. Given limited funding and the significant expense, the town has done a noteworthy job of maintaining its roads. Continued proper and affordable maintenance of the road network in Addison is in the interest of all residents though financial support for doing so was not particularly supported in the public survey. Since MDOT has a jurisdiction over the roads supporting the highest volume of traffic in Addison, the town will continue to communicate and cooperate with the department. Addison has a paving schedule for roads that are currently unpaved and requires all new roads to be constructed to specific municipal standards.

Public Facilities and Services

Through proper maintenance and investment, Addison’s public facilities and services have remained in good condition overall. The town has prepared a Capital Improvement Plan as further discussed in the fiscal capacity section. Previously, it has provided reserve accounts for many necessary items. Prudent management decisions at the local level have prevented the town from being forced to make large capital investments within one tax year. However, there are issues that do need to be addressed including a fire house; renovated or new town hall; sand and salt shed; and wharf in South Addison.

Fiscal Capacity

Addison has been doing well in managing its finances over the last five years. The mil rate has fallen somewhat mostly in response to decreases in municipal expenditures. In the past, the town has budgeted for capital improvements through grants and reserve accounts. The town proposes a Capital Improvement Plan to finance many improvements that will allow for future growth.

Land Use

Addison has experienced limited development pressure during the 1990s and a limited amount of growth is expected to continue. Support exists for some regulation on development activity but there is concern that it not be excessive or burdensome. We have drawn from many sources including the survey to plan for our future and develop a land use plan. This Plan is intended to protect our town's character, to support maritime commercial activities and to ensure compatibility among residential, commercial and industrial activities. It also seeks to ensure that residents can continue to support themselves with a mixture of activities necessitated by seasonal and diverse rural livelihoods.

HISTORIC AND ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES

The Town of Addison was named by the first settlers along the Pleasant River, after British essayist and poet Joseph Addison who lived from 1672 to 1719. The town celebrated its bicentennial in 1997 and reissued an updated history - Addison Then and Now - an engaging and thorough chronicle of the town. Originally published in 1982, the bicentennial edition is full of photos, descriptions of early enterprises, schools, churches, war veterans, public servants and vessels built in the former shipyards. The Comprehensive Plan reproduces here the relevant facts of Addison’s history but directs readers to this wonderful history of place and people. Early migrants to the region were attracted by the abundance of marsh hay in places like Addison. Plentiful codfish also brought settlers from Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod during the late 1700s and early 1800s. The population peaked in 1860 at 1,272 persons when shipbuilding was the dominant feature of the local economy. Twenty-one vessels were constructed in Addison between 1860 and 1869. Quarrying of local granite began in the late 1800s and lasted well into the middle of the twentieth century, gradually declining into nonexistence in 1958 with the closing of the quarry on Harwood Island. The role of the seas has been an important one in Addison's history, providing several major occupations revolving around fishing, fish processing, shipbuilding and shipping. Seamen were involved in the coastal trade and deep water voyages. The coastal trade, or coasting as it was called, was the main source of transportation for people and goods until rail service was initiated in the late 1800s. Many of the people who lived in Addison depended on coasting for their living. The timber industry and its mills along with granite quarrying and silver mining were theother major industries in Addison. In the late 1980s and early nineties the economy of Addison is as Louis Ploch has characterized it, "A variation on the theme of getting by ... through a skillful and, in some cases, an ingenious combination of clamming, lobstering, worming and wreathing."

Agriculture has never been a major factor in Addison's commercial life. While people farmed, they apparently did so as an adjunct to other businesses and occupations.

Early Settlement

The earliest white settlers in Addison were from Martha’s Vineyard. They were looking for richer farmlands, cod and good meadow grass for their cattle. Some of the earliest permanent settlers, of whom we have any knowledge, were William Hix, Wilmont Wass, Moses Plummer, Seth Norton, Richard Samuel Coffin, Tilly White, Daniel Look and John Nash , with most arriving in 1767. Addison was settled about 1779 and was organized as a plantation, know as “Number Six West of Machias”. It was then called Pleasant River and also “Englishman’s River”. It was incorporated as a town on February 14, 1797, and named in honor of the English writer, Joseph Addison. The Bangor Historical Magazine gives the entire number of inhabitants as 213, on April 27, 1778. It is said, “practically all the residents of Addison are descendents in one way or another of the Vineyard Settlers.”

The town itself spreads over a large area and includes many island, coves and headlands. In the late 1800’s and into the 1900’s there were manufacturing plants including clam, sardine, blueberry and lobster canneries. None of these are in existence at the present time. Today Addison is mainly a fishing port with lobsters, scallops, clams, periwinkles and mussels as the principal catches.

Mayhew Library

The Mayhew Library called the “Addison Public Library” when it first opened on January 30, 1892, the library was renamed in 1897 to honor both Calista Wass Mayhew, the daughter of David and Hadassah Wass, and her husband, Francis L Mayhew, who had generously aided and supported its growth during its early years. The first library building was on the North Side of Water Street, in a building that also served as a shoe shop and telegraph office. The telegraph operator Minnie Wass, was the first librarian, while her brother, Frank N. Wass, ran a harness and shoe shop in the same building. In 1915 Calista Wass Mayhew purchased the building and the lot on which it stood, and gave it to the library association. In May 1938, the devastating fire at Addison Point destroyed the old Mayhew Library. Herbert and Ross Ward, who lost their house in the fire, donated their vacant lot to the library association. The present library building was erected on this site, opening to the public on December 20, 1939. Addison has two buildings that are listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings (the Indian River Baptist Church and the Union Evangelical Church on the Ridge Road). The Maine Historic Preservation Commission lists 28 prehistoric archaeological sites along the Addison coastline, 11 of which are considered significant. The Pleasant River Historical Society helps build public awareness of the importance of historic sites and buildings. There is currently no direct municipal involvement in protecting historic resources in Addison.

Quarries

After the Civil War a construction boom on the eastern seaboard stimulated a rise in granite quarries. There were several quarries in Addison. The “Pleasant River Block Granite Company” was located on the east side of Pleasant River; the “Black Diamond Granite Quarry” (Lang’s Quarry) was on Yoho Bay; a paving stone quarry was located on the west side of the river; and Moose-A-Bec Quarry on Hardwood Island. Stone in the rough shape and monuments made here were shipped to all parts of the United States and were used in the construction of many famous buildings. The quarries dwindled as the demand for granite declines, ceasing around 1920. However, in recent years there has been a quarry started in the Basin area known as the Fletcher Granite Co.

Schools

The first schools in town were held in private homes. Gradually the town established separate school districts: in 1855 there were 14 districts, with additional pupils on Nash Island. There were one-room one-teacher schools. Later the S.S. Nash School at the Point became the sole school for Addison students. In the fall of 1966 Addison consolidated with five other towns into SAD 37, with Narraguagus High School in Harrington serving the whole district. In 1975 the D.W. Merritt Elementary School was constructed for all students, K-8.

Shipyards

Since everything had to be shipped by water, shipbuilding was very important for the growth of the town. There were four shipyards making the center of the little town a busy spot. The four yards located on crooked Pleasant River were Look Brother’s Yard, Knowles Shipyards, Nash Shipyard and the William Nash Shipyard. At least 83 vessels were built in Addison from 1800-to 1900. The peak decade was 1860-1870 when 21 vessels were constructed. The Annie M. Preble was the last vessel built in Addison during the peak years. It would be more than 100 years before another vessel would be built on the banks of the Pleasant River; “RawFaith” in 2003 In 1866, in Leander Knowles’ shipyard the vessel “Nellie Chapin” was built. This was the ship on which the Palestine Emigration Colony made their ill-fated voyage to Jaffa that year. Many members of the Colony were from Addison, Indian River and Jonesport. They had sold their land and possessions with the plan to settle in Jaffa. When their settlement failed many families returned home to Maine practically destitute. A few families went further west and set up new homes in Michigan.

HISTORIC BUILDINGS

The Maine Historic Preservation Commission maintains an inventory of important sites including buildings or sites on the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP). They record two such listings for the town both of which are shown on Map 2, Addison Public Facilities and Cemeteries: 1. Indian River Baptist Church, Route 187 2. UNION evangelical Church, Addison Ridge Road MHPC notes that a comprehensive survey of Addison’s above-ground historic resources is needed to identify other properties which may be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The following buildings, shown on Map 2: Addison Public Facilities and Cemeteries, are of historic importance to the town’s residents and might be worth consideration for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for Addison: 1. The Church on the Hill - “Baptist Church Society” 2. Indian River Grange Hall There are many older homes in Addison and if property owners choose to nominate their properties to the National Historic Register they are encouraged to do so.

CEMETERIES

Cemeteries are a cultural resource providing insight into the history of the community. There are approximately forty cemeteries and family graveyards in Addison including a few additional cemeteries in the bordering towns of Jonesport and Harrington that have been cataloged and published complete in 1998 by members of the Pleasant River Historical Society.

STATE PARKS AND PUBLIC RESERVED LANDS

There is a total of approximately 50 acres in Addison owned for public or conservation purposes and approximately 600 additional acres that are protected by conservation easements held by a variety of non-profit organizations. There are no state parks in Addison. Roughly half of the above conservation land is on the islands and half is on the mainland. The Nature Conservancy owns a 27-acre preserve called Upper Birch Island Preserve and has several other smaller preserves throughout town. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife holds a conservation easement on Nightcap Island and owns and manages additional lands on Little Drisko Island and Inner Goose Island. The town of Addison owns 182 acres of land in 4 separate parcels.

EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMY

The economy of Addison is closely tied to the traditional natural resources that have defined the community since its beginning. The role of the seas has been an important one in Addison's history, providing several major occupations revolving around fishing, fish processing, shipbuilding and shipping. Seamen were involved in the coastal trade and deep water voyages. The coastal trade, or coasting as it was called, was the main source of transportation for people and goods until rail service was initiated in the late 1800s. Many of the people who lived in Addison depended on coasting for their living. The timber industry and its mills along with granite quarrying and brickyards were the other major industries in Addison. Early migrants were attracted by the abundance of marsh hay in places like Addison. Plentiful codfish also brought settlers from Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod during the late 1700s and early 1800s. The population peaked in 1860 at 1,272 persons when shipbuilding was the dominant feature of the local economy. Twenty-one vessels were constructed in Addison between 1860 and 1869. Quarrying of local granite began in the late 1800s and lasted well into the middle of the twentieth century, gradually declining by 1958 with the closing of the quarry on Hardwood Island. In the late 1980s and early nineties the economy of Addison is as Louis Ploch has characterized it, "A variation on the theme of getting by ... through a skillful and, in some cases, an ingenious combination of clamming, lobstering, worming and wreathing.1 Agriculture has never been a major factor in Addison's commercial life. While people farmed, they apparently did so as an adjunct to other businesses and occupations. This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan examines several economic indicators, such as employment, labor force, income, and sales to assess the economic health of the community. The goal of the section is to develop policies which promote an economic climate in Addison that increases the town’s tax base, improves job opportunities for local residents, and encourages overall economic well-being.

MAIL DELIVERY

The Addison Post Office (04606) is located at 297 Water Street. Although many residents have a post office box, part of the mail is delivered through a rural carrier for home delivery.
