The bridge over the Bashegan River in 1923 was carried off its piers. Because there was so much wood in the flooring, the bridge floated down the river for a mile before it stopped on the other side of the river. After the flood was over the community took the bridge apart and restored it to its present day setting.

The Eureka hotel was renovated in 1911. After renovations were complete there was a 3 1/2 story increase. The builders added covered porches on the first two stories. They also knocked off the back wing. The Baskahegan Company then bought the hotel to house employees who worked along the river.

This is the second schoolhouse in Danforth, Maine. It was built and thought up by Dr. Samuel D. Springer, principal and superintendant in education, soon after the first school house burnt flat to the ground. Dr. Samuel D. Springer believed there should be better schools in Maine so he decided to set down his own plan of education. The school was for grades K-12 and as he followed through with his idea, Dr. Samuel D. Springer became superintendant and headmaster.
