Weathervane Wednesday ~ Above the Library

I post another in a series of weather vane photographs every Wednesday.  This started with images of weathervanes from the Londonderry, New Hampshire area, but now I've found interesting weather vanes all across New England and across the globe.  Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting.  Often my readers tip me off to some very unique or unusual weathervanes, too!  If you know a great weather vane near you, let me know if you'd like to have it featured on this blog.

Today's weather vane was photographed in New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of weathervane post #359?  Scroll down to find the answer.

 This graceful, three dimensional blue heron weathervane can be seen above the Whipple Free Library in New Boston, New Hampshire.  This weathervane is near the Piscatquog River, where blue herons can often be seen.  The library is fairly new, built in 2010, and located at 67 Mont Vernon Road, Route 13, behind the post office. According to the 2010 New Boston Town Report, the weathervane is located above a "sun scoop".

The crane weathervane was designed by Karen Salerno and made by the SkyArt Studio in Meriden, Connecticut.  It is interesting to know that all the artisans at the SkyArt studio are women!  While looking at their website I found several weathervanes I have already featured at "Weathervane Wednesday" including LaBelle Winery in Amherst, New Hampshire,  and Mann Orchard in Methuen, Massachusetts.

This scrollwork arrow weathervane is on the bell tower above the Community Church in New Boston, New Hampshire.  This church was built to replace the Presbyterian Church on the Hill which was built in the 1820s but hit by lightning and burned to the ground in 1900.

This weathervane is mentioned on the New Boston Historical Society's website, on their weathervane page!

Weathervane Wednesday ~ Above the Town Hall

Do you know the location of weathervane post #345?  Scroll down to find the answer.

This weathervane is located above the clock tower of the New Boston, New Hampshire Town Hall.  This scrollwork weathervane was placed here in 1983, it originally was installed on the bell tower of the New Boston High school in 1908.  The old school used to stand across the street (where the fire station is now located), but it was destroyed in the great fire of 1887.   You can read more about this weathervane and this story of its relocation at the link below from the New Boston Historical Society.

This weathervane is located next door to the Old Engine House which also has a historic weathervane.  You can read about both of these weathervanes, and more in New Boston, at this link:

Weathervane Wednesday ~ An Old Engine House

I post another in a series of weather vane photographs every Wednesday.  This started with images of weathervanes from the Londonderry, New Hampshire area, but now I've found interesting weather vanes all across New England and across the globe.  Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting.  Often my readers tip me off to some very unique or unusual weathervanes, too!  If you know a great weather vane near you, let me know if you'd like to have it featured on this blog.

This gilded scrollwork weathervane is on the cupola above the Old Engine House in New Boston, New Hampshire.  The historic, yellow building now serves as the town recreation department office.  This is a great location to see three weathervanes at one time!  Right next door is a weathervane above the town hall, and there is also a weathervane above the church across the street.  Stay tuned, because I'll be featuring those weathervanes for the next few Wednesdays.

This weathervane is not original to the building.  It was replaced in 2014.

I was tipped off to these weathervanes by a reader who sent me an email and a link to the New Boston Historical Society's website, which has a page about weathervanes in their town.  This is a great website, and I encourage you to take a peek at the history behind these historic weathervanes.
