Charles H. Kimball
Frontier National Bank Building, Eastport, ME. 1882.
Charles H. Kimball (1852-1887) was an American architect from Maine.
Kimball was born in Lovell in 1852, and was the son of a dentist. His family moved to Portland when he was very young. Kimball graduated from Portland High School in 1869. By 1871 he was working for George M. Harding, a local architect.[1] In 1874 he left Portland for Lewiston and established a practice with George M. Coombs, a native of that city.[2] Kimball & Coombs dissolved later that year, and Kimball had opened his own office in Portland by 1875. He practiced alone until 1887, his death. He never married.[1]
He is notable as one of the only Maine architects to embrace the Stick Style.
