    Stopped to visit it at dusk and it was cool to see. Read that this spot inspired Stephen King and that he actually wrote from the bench near it. Definitely something to see if you are a fan.

    I am not sure why I liked this so much but I did. It has a history and is very interesting architecturally. It is also surprisingly large and from a distance with its windows may be mistaken for something other than what it is. Speaking of it, it also has a history in one of the King novels. On a nice day the park is a pleasant place to enjoy the structure.

    Absolutely loved this, it is so huge and very cool! My only regret as I did not get to see the inside. Next time! Definitely worth The Visit. And I walked the half mile to the Stephen King house, very enjoyable. Highly recommend both!

    I always forget about this hidden gem in my own backyard. Although only open a few days a year, it's worth the wait and the trip up.

    Great place to see the fall foliage when it is open just a few hours for one day each fall.

    I came to find a geocache and discovered a pretty cool place . Such an interesting feature in the middle of Bangor, and it belongs to the Bangor Water District. Apparently this holds almost 1.8 million gallons of water, and for a few days a year, it is open to tours and a walk up the stairs to the top. The fountain nearby was being visited by the locals, who were happy to give me a pose.

    A fun afternoon. The standpipe was open to the public. After climbing the 100 stairs to a panoramic view of the Bangor area. Spectacular sight! We were blessed with a sunny day and clear skies. It was windy on the day we went so I'm glad we had jackets.
