The Charming and Surprising History of Crooked Steeple Hall

Can you imagine if walls really did have eyes and ears, and all the juicy scenes that they would have witnessed? Especially old buildings that have had colorful histories and seen the events of generations of people’s lives unfold. 

Built in 1850, Crooked Steeple Hall holds over a century and a half’s worth of secrets. One of the most interesting features of Crooked Steeple Hall is right there in its name. I like to imagine that early on, the steeple was curious and leaned ever so slightly to catch a conversation and got stuck in that position. 

Yeah, my imagination is overactive like that. Reminds me of what my mom used to say when I pouted over something or the other. “Your mouth will stay in that position if you keep that up.” 

Fun Fact #1: Crooked Steeple Hall was not always this historical building’s name.

Crooked Steeple Hall was originally a Methodist church, until the early 1990s when it was purchased for use as a residence and later on, when the owner’s son inherited the property, he converted it to a music store and concert hall. 

Today, Crooked Steeple Hall is a historical treasure in Winterport, Maine. It adds a special something to the quaint charm and allure of Winterport, and is listed on the national Registry of Historic Places. 

Even as the building has undergone tons of renovations to become Crooked Steeple Hall, we have preserved much of what makes this special space unique. The original tin walls and ceiling, woodwork, stained glass windows, bell, and of course, the steeple have all been preserved and restored.    

Fun Fact #2: The steeple’s still-working bell was cast in 1872 by Blake & Co, the foundry originally owned by Paul Revere.
