Blaine House Ornament
By Ken Kantro
of Lovell Designs
The Pine Cone and Tassel design bordering
this piece was taken directly from the design on the Silver Service
which was on board the U.S.S. Maine when it sank in Havana Harbor
in 1898. The Silver Service was recovered from the wreck of the
U.S.S. Maine and is now in the Blaine House.

Baxter in the Blaine House
Story by Paula Benoit
Illustrated by Thomas Block
Baxter in the Blaine House is a lively and informative tour of the official residence of Maine’s first families through the eyes of Governor Paul LePage’s “First Dog”, Baxter. While the Blaine House has been home to generations of pets, Baxter is the first to tell the story of this famous house – a tale that will please readers both young and old alike.
—EARLE G. SHETTLEWORTH, JR., Maine State Historian
This is a true and colorful look at the home of my clever little friend Baxter. As First Dog of Maine he has important jobs to do. One is making children feel welcome when they visit the Blaine House. I hope these children will grow to be the next generation to preserve the Blaine House and Maine’s other historic buildings.
—J. R. PHILLIPS, Director Maine State Museum
A journey through these pages, enlivened by the work of a wonderful Maine artist, will amuse and delight the discovery of Maine’s traditions through the eyes of the Blaine House guardian and greeter, our buddy Baxter.
—DONNA MCNEIL, Arts Program and Policy Director, Maine Arts Commission
