57 Winthrop Street
57 Winthrop Street was historically known as St. Mark's Home for Women, a senior care facility in Augusta, Maine. Established in 1870, it was originally created as a residence for homeless and indigent women, later evolving into a boarding and lodging home for women of independent means. The facility was operated by St. Mark's Episcopal Church and provided a home-like and friendly atmosphere for its residents for 144 years before its closure. The historic building itself, known as the Issachar Snell House, dates back to around 1828. The primary services offered at St. Mark's Home included providing a residence, three meals a day, and an afternoon tea in a communal dining room. It was an independent living facility where residents had their own rooms but did not receive nursing care. The home was known for its convenient location, providing easy access to the local library, banks, shopping, and restaurants. Due to financial pressures from a dwindling number of residents, the board of St. Mark's Home voted to close the facility, and it ceased operations at the end of 2014. The property was last sold in 2017 and is now a private residence.
