American architect
Church of the New Jerusalem , Fryeburg , Maine, 1878.Frontier National Bank Building, Eastport , Maine, 1882. Charles H. Kimball (March 31, 1852 – 1887) was an American architect from Maine .
Kimball was born in Lovell , Maine, 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 his death in 1887.[ 1]
He is notable as one of the only Maine architects to embrace the Stick Style . His buildings in this mode include the original Deering High School , the Church of the New Jerusalem in Fryeburg , and the former Kezar Falls M. E. Church.
