History
Prior to 1927, Howard Franklin "H.F." Stultz, Sr. started Bethany Gospel Hall on Main Street in Westbrook, Cumberland, Maine, a suburb of Portland, and remained its correspondent until its closing after 1983, with a brief break during the split of 1957.
In Truth & Tidings 1957-7: "Westbrook, Maine: The assembly, formerly meeting in the Bethany Gospel Hall, 540 Main St. is meeting for June, July and August at the Warren Memorial Library, 479 Main Street. Breaking of bread is at 10:30 Lord's Day. Corr. D.L. Swendsen, 76 Union St., Westbrook, Maine." This eventually became Spring Hill Gospel Hall, ME, meeting initially in the auditorium of the Warren Memorial Library (1879-2009), and in 1961 moved into its present location at 225 Spring Street.
