Douglass Armsden was a local photographer who immigrated with his family to the U.S. from the U.K. in 1920. He moved to Kittery, Maine after graduating from Technical High School of Buffalo, NY and began a career in photography. A veteran of World War 2, Douglass served as a photographer in the Pacific Theater. He then returned to the Seacoast upon retiring from the Coast Guard Reserves and died in York, Maine in 2009. He photographed numerous locations around the Seacoast including Fort Foster when it was still U.S. Government property in the 1950s. The images include now missing cottages from the hotel community and familiar views of the park.
