Currently, no maps of Hartland detailing the locations of homes, businesses and merchants before 1860 have been discovered. Various documents provide us with enough information to know many existed in its early years of settlement, but most of the specific details of when they were built or by whom remain unknown. The following is based on our best interpretation of known maps, town records, census data, historical book references, photos, artifacts and family genealogical information. Updates will be made as new information is discovered.
*
We currently have no clear evidence of when Warren Square began its long part in Hartland history although early records do indicate a road running closer along Sebasticook River before Elm Street was built. One possible namesake for the locally famous central location in the Village is Dr. John Warren who purchased the original township in 1799 of what became Hartland. However, given Dr. Warren’s residence in Boston and his 1815 death early in the town’s establishment, his son “Squire” Henry Warren, who took over his father’s ownership of the township and lived in Palmyra, may have been a more familiar face to local residents as formal streets began to develop and be named.
*
Sewell Prescott, Jr built the first known store in Warren Square at the corner of Main Street about 1827 according to notes made in Hartland Librarian Mary (Coston) Smith’s journal. By the late 1840s, James Fuller, Jr (1819-1895, son of James Fuller, Sr) moved from West Hartland to the Village where he located his vast homestead on Elm Street and purchased the former Prescott store block.
Following major changes in 1846 to the eastern side of the Hartland town line with St Albans, which included Warren Square becoming part of Hartland, Fuller’s Dry Goods & General Store served as the first location for a Post Office in the Village. An earlier location had been established for a Post Office in West Hartland where James Fuller, Sr, among others, served as Post Master during the town’s early years but it is currently unknown if it continued service following this new location in the Village.

By 1860, Daniel Dudley had opened a Shoe Shop in Warren Square and was living in the corner house at the time. Around 1863, Dr. Harris H. Pushor (1841-1896), originally from Pittsfield, purchased the former Dudley home seen in the photo below where he began his medical practice in Hartland and soon took over primary physician duties following the death of Dr. Calvin Blake in 1870. Dr. Pushor married Mary Haskell, an older sister of Myra Haskell who married Albert W. Miller. As noted in a local newspaper article in 1879, Dr. Pushor replaced an existing smaller building next his house with a larger building which served as his office until he and Mary moved back to Pittsfield in 1885.

James Fuller, Jr was joined in business around 1865 by Andrew Hanson Buck (1841-1932) operating as the Fuller & Buck General Store which included Buck’s addition of stove and tinware sales to the business. J. D. Newmarch operated a Tailor Shop upstairs on the Main Street side of the building after Albert W. Miller (1835-1916) took over the former J. D. Kennedy Tailor Store on Main Street around 1865 and began operating as the A. W. Miller Drug Store.

In late 1878, a huge fire ravaged the Fuller & Buck Store and destroyed it. The great fire was at least in part an impetus for the town to build it own dedicated Fire House on Water Street soon after as the existing fire fighting apparatus had been stored at the Linn Woolen Mill and had been locked up on the day of the fire causing a fateful delay in fighting the blaze.
James Fuller, Jr rebuilt a smaller store building on the same site soon after the fire but the Post Office was moved to Alden Sampson’s Drug Store on the corner of Main Street & Commercial Street where Sampson also served as Post Master for a few years.
Warren Square – 1883

Fuller’s business partner, Andrew H. Buck, opened his own store after the fire on the lower side of the Sebasticook River Island on Main Street. Buck later moved to Commercial Street following the Great Flood of 1887 operating as A. H. Buck Stove & Tin Shop.
Following Alden Sampson and his newly wedded wife Nellie Lancey’s departure to South Dakota around 1885, Albert W. Miller soon moved his drug store business across the street into the future Hartland Drug Store Block. The Post Office remained there until 1889 when it was moved next door into the new Linn Block built in 1888 on Commercial Street until 1922.

In 1885, Dr. Edwin Augustus Bean and his 2nd wife Loantha Libby, who were living in St Albans at the time, purchased the former Dr. Harris Pushor residence following Pushor’s return to Pittsfield. Dr. Bean, originally from Brighton, had been practicing medicine in Newport previous to their move to St Albans and continued his practice from the office building next to the house. Loantha passed away in 1888 and he remarried in 1890 to Lynn Norton and remained at the house.

Dr. Bean was also very active in local town affairs serving for several years on the Hartland Board of Health, Hartland School Committee and as a Hartland Town Selectman before his untimely death on April 18, 1898 from Consumption (TB) at just over 50 years old. He was interred with Loantha at Ireland Cemetery along with 2 of their young children, Charles & Violet, who predeceased them. They were survived by sons Ernest Manson Bean (1879-1970) and Orel Merton Bean (1881-1964).

Following Dr. Bean’s death in 1898, Dr. Harris Pushor’s brother-in-law Albert W. Miller purchased the house along with the office building and the small store building next to it and soon after began renovations on the residence to turn it into a double tenement.

Leading up to his death, Dr. E. A. Bean had retired from his medical practice and his office building was rented out to Lloyd G. Palmer as headquarters for his local newspaper in January of 1898. Palmer had established himself as Editor of the new Hartland Tribune in 1897 using the Gazette in Dexter to print his newspaper. No further details have been found but the newspaper was still being published as late as 1912.

In late 1900, Edmund Edson Davis (1880-1952) moved his confectionery and notions business into the former James Fuller Store at Warren Square. He operated his store there until 1904 when he took a clerk position at the Post Office on Commercial Street following his marriage to Jennie Holmden in 1903. They moved to Skowhegan in 1908 where he took a store clerk job. They eventually moved to Norridgewock where he had been living for some 20 years at the time of his death. He is interred with his parents and Jennie at Pine Grove Cemetery.

The 2nd floor of the former Fuller Store was used as a Barber Shop by several local barbers from the mid-1890s until 1914. A couple of known barbers operating out of the location were Willard D. Burton had moved his business there from Commercial Street in 1901 and Fred W. Martin who had been operating there for several years when he sold his business to Leslie Hoyt in 1903.
*
In November of 1902, Albert W. Miller moved his drug store business from the future Hartland Drug Store Block back to his original location across the street on Main Street. Miller had been leasing his Main Street store to Elwin O. Wentworth who had moved to Hartland with his family around 1898. Upon Miller’s return, Wentworth moved his jewelry business into the small dark building occupied previously for a couple of years by Dr. Lynne H. Blanchard who then opened the Hartland Drug Store. E. O. Wentworth operated his store at the location until he moved his family to Los Angeles in late 1904. Soon after Wentworth’s departure, Harry H. Harris opened his jewelry store in the building.

None of the Hartland Town Reports from this time period show any mention of maintaining the bandstand after it was built, however later reports imply the Hartland Town Band may have been responsible using private funds. In 1920, they requested assistance from the town as noted, “Article 38: To see if the town will vote to assist the Hartland Band financially in any manner, or to act upon anything relating thereto.” Provisions for financing the repairs included the band performing at least 12 concerts annually between June 1st & September 14th.

In May of 1913, fire gutted the former Dr. Pushor & Dr. Bean residence in the corner of the square. The house was still owned by Albert W. Miller at the time and was rebuilt by Miller soon after with a new 2nd floor addition dramatically changing its roof line. Following Miller’s death in 1916, his widow Myra kept the house and rented it out to numerous families over the years up until her death in the early 1940s.
*
In 1916, the former James Fuller, Jr Store and lot in Warren Square were sold to Fred R. Davis of Palmyra and his wife Lena Webber by James’ daughter Harriet (Fuller) Baker. Harriet, widowed, was living in her father’s house across the square on Elm Street at the time with her sister Dr. Jennie Fuller. Lena’s brother Perley Webber joined them in their new grocery store business which opened that same year operating as Davis & Webber.
As noted in a July 11, 1918 newspaper article, Davis & Webber were having a new addition built onto their store at the time with intentions of installing a large refrigerator for meat storage. By the time this undated photo below was taken, the addition had been made and their Davis & Webber sign is seen over the store door. Power poles with lines crossing the photo can be seen with the first new street light hanging at the intersection.

After moving the former James Fuller, Jr Store from Warren Square, Fred & Lena (Webber) Davis and their business partner Perley Webber replaced it in 1923 with a large 3 story building and continued operating their Davis & Webber grocery store business on the 1st floor. Fred & Lena moved into an upstairs apartment in the new building with their only child Gertrude Davis. The former jewelry store was also razed to make way for the new building’s larger footprint however the former doctor’s office remained.

Davis & Webber – One of the stores in Hartland that attracts the attention is the fine grocery store of Davis & Webber. Especially is it to be noted on account of its newness for they have recently moved into their new quarters, which are most inviting. The standard makes of flour and cereals, the best brands of canned goods, fresh dairy products and fruits are among the excellent stock carried here, their policy being to give the public the very best value for the lowest possible prices. The meat department is kept in the most approved sanitary condition, all meats kept in their large refrigerator and handled by those who understand thoroughly the art of cutting. Here you will find heavy western beef, veal, pork and lamb and the housewife will find satisfaction in buying her meats from this first class market, and where the freshest of fish is also carried. The Home Bakery department is an attractive feature of this store and is largely patronized throughout the town for the excellence of its products. With the finest of quality and service, this store is worthy of the high reputation it holds in the community. ~ Pittsfield Advertiser – October 18, 1923

One of the other early businesses at the Davis & Webber Block was a Barber Shop on the 2nd floor operated by Willard Burton (1863-1951) who relocated his business there in 1923. Willard is Allen R. Burton’s older brother and married Allen’s wife’s younger sister Nellie Woodbury (1867-1927). A pair of barber poles can be seen marking the entrance to the far left in the photo above as well as another barber pole attached to the 2nd floor facade where his shop was located.
Eddie Greene also opened his first cobbler shop location in the new block in 1923 before moving to Commercial Street next to C. I. Currie’s store a year or so later. Also in 1923, a fire siren was installed on the roof of the new block remaining there until it was relocated in 1942.

Following the devastating fire on December 7, 1923 which gutted Hartland Academy, 4th & 5th Grade Students who had classrooms at the Academy at the time were temporarily moved to the Webber & Davis Block to finish out the school year with their teacher Mrs. Mary Connelly until the Academy was rebuilt.
*
An exact date has not yet been found but by the late 1920s the Webber & Davis Grocery business at Warren Square had closed. The store location had been leased to Scott Barnes who operated a grocery store and meat market until 1931 when Ivan McCrillis leased the location operating his Nationwide Grocery Store until December of 1932 when Barnes reopened his business there for a few years.

On May 19, 1932, Fred R. Davis passed away at 60yrs old following a stroke 2 weeks earlier. Lena remained living upstairs at the Davis Block for several more years until she moved to Academy Street in the early 1940s after selling the building until her death in 1948. Their only child, Gertrude V. Davis (1901-1981), returned home to live with her mother following her Fred’s death and resumed her teaching career in Hartland where she remained until her death. Lena’s widowed mother, Louisa (Tripp) Webber, also lived with her at the Davis Block for several years between 1923 and 1933.

In 1934, Donald Shorey of Pittsfield opened his first funeral parlor location in Hartland at the Davis & Webber Block. He operated in one of the smaller rooms until 1942 when he moved his business across the square into the former James Fuller, Jr residence on Elm Street replacing Vincent Goforth’s funeral parlor location.
*
In 1939, William B. Steeves leased the main section of the building and operated a grocery store at the location until 1947 when he and his wife Nina Felton moved to Mechanics Falls. Nina was a teacher in Hartland for over 20 years teaching Primary, 1st and 2nd Grades before they moved.

Along with the grocery store businesses that occupied the main section of the block, several businesses operated from the building over the years including a delicatessen, funeral parlor and restaurant along with a barber shop and a pool room. In the front basement floor on the Main Street side, Central Maine Power had an office for a few years. The 2nd & 3rd floors continued to be used as apartments for many years.

In April of 1944, Lewis H. Barden purchased the Davis & Webber Block from Lena Davis. At the time, Barden was still operating his grocery store on Commercial Street and the purchase appeared to be just an addition to the several properties he already owned in town with no immediate intentions of relocating his store there.
Soon after this purchase, Barden also bought the former Hartland House on Elm Street from Lena and in 1945 rented the front 1st floor unit to Donald Shorey of Pittsfield. Shorey had previously moved his first Hartland funeral parlor business from the Davis & Webber Block across the street at the former James Fuller, Jr house.

In late summer of 1944, the Hartland Volunteer Fire Department sponsored construction of an Honor Roll for Hartland World War I & World War II Veterans which was placed in front of the bandstand at Warren Square. A special dedication was held to unveil the new Honor Roll on Sunday, September 10, 1944 as well as a Gold Star ceremony for the men who had lost their lives in service. More details and photos from the entire ceremony may be seen on the Veteran Honors page.

In January of 1949, Lewis H. Barden announced his retirement from active management of his Commercial Street store and passed the management along to his son Lewis H. Barden, Jr who he had been grooming as his replacement since his return from service in WWII. Lewis, Jr, with his sister Laura S. Barden as his Assistant Manager, continued operations of the L. H. Barden IGA Economy Store for a few months before he was struck with an illness lasting a few weeks before his untimely death on June 27, 1949 at 24yrs old.
Following his son’s death, Barden sold his Commercial Street store to Fred & Ellen Cooper later that year, however he came out of retirement a couple of years later to reopen a grocery store business at the Davis & Webber Block in 1951 first managed by his daughter Laura S. Barden with Lewis and his wife Eda assisting her.

The former doctor’s office building located between the Davis & Webber Block and the corner house was purchased and moved by Lewis H. Barden on April 11, 1950 to its current location on Elm Street (future Gervais house).

The basement floor of the former Davis & Webber and Barden Block with its Main Street entry was used by several businesses over the course of the building’s history with Central Maine Power’s local office being one in the 1950s. In the mid-1960s, Herbie Brooks of Dexter opened a restaurant in the basement to go with his original Dexter location. Soon after Joe & Gertie Bizeau took over the business operating as “Joe & Gertie’s Restaurant” until an August 30th fire in 1969 caused major damage to their restaurant and other sections of the building. Joe & Gertie moved their restaurant soon after to Commercial Street at the former E. P. Dyer Block.

The entire square was purchased soon after by Irving Tanning but remained a vacant lot until May of 1999 when a special town meeting was held and citizens voted in favor of a quitclaim deed to remove any future town interest in the square adjacent to the bandstand. The vote enabled Bangor Savings Bank to complete its pending purchase from Irving Tanning with plans for a new location in Hartland. The entire lot, along with the former Hartland House on Elm Street, was razed and replaced with a new bank location which opened for business on June 19, 2000.

On October 23, 1999, the rejuvenated bandstand was dedicated in honor of Everett Wesley Ham who had passed away on March 1, 1999. “Hammie” was a local saxophone legend who performed numerous times in the area including at the bandstand over the decades.
