The Small Point Club in Phippsburg, Maine opened its doors in 1897 and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Traditional shingle style with a wraparound piazza, it was designed by Maine native and Pittsburg-based architect, Joseph Ladd Neal (who had recently designed the Lithgow Library in Augusta, Maine). With its high-on-a-bluff placement, the wondrous views of the expansive beach down to Popham Beach are impressive in any season. The Club features several rooms for guests of its members, a spacious and welcoming parlor, and a cottage-elegant dining room. A true delight to photograph inside and out, and an honor to have been commissioned by the Small Point Club Preservation Fund to help preserve the exterior of this Club’s historic building.
