Reference excerpt

The LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building is the town hall of Cornish, Maine. It is located at 17 Maple Street (Maine State Route 25). It was built in 1925-26 to a design by John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens, with funds willed to the town by the widow of LeRoy F. Pike, a local businessman and politician. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Description and history The Pike Memorial Building is located in the main village of Cornish, a rural town in northern York County, Maine. It is set on the north side of Maple Street, the major east-west route through the village, just west of its central area. It is set back from the road, with a grassy front yard that has a concrete walk leading to a flight of low steps providing access to the building. It is a two-story wood frame structure, set on a high concrete foundation, with a high-pitched hip roof. The central portion of the front (south-facing) facade is demarcated by a gable in the roof, and four pilasters, two on either side of the double-door entrance. Between each pair of pilasters are narrow windows on the first and second level, and there is a three-part window above the entrance. Sash windows flank this entrance section on either side, with wooden panels separating the windows on the first and second floors. The building houses town offices and a large auditorium space. LeRoy F. Pike was a Cornish native, lumberman, and local politician who served for many years in a variety of civic roles, including as town selectman, moderator, and constable. He died in 1915, and his widow, who died in 1922, willed to the town about $20,000 for the construction of a municipal building. The town retained Portland architect John Calvin Stevens and his son John Howard Stevens to design this Colonial Revival structure, which was completed in 1926. The building, in addition to housing town offices, has been used since then for municipal elections, and its auditorium has been used for all types of civic and private events.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building

In research: LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1925, Buildings and structures in York County, Maine, City and town halls on the National Register of Historic Places in Maine, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for LeRoy F. Pike Memorial Building outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
