      • Charles H. Kimball (March 31, 1852 – 1887) was an American architect from Maine.


      Life


      Kimball was born in Lovell, Maine, in 1852, and was the son of a dentist. His family moved to Portland when he was very young. Kimball graduated from Portland High School in 1869. By 1871, he was working for George M. Harding, a local architect. In 1874, he left Portland for Lewiston and established a practice with George M. Coombs, a native of that city. Kimball & Coombs dissolved later that year, and Kimball had opened his own office in Portland by 1875. He practiced alone until his death in 1887.
      He is notable as one of the only Maine architects to embrace the Stick Style. His buildings in this mode include the original Deering High School, the Church of the New Jerusalem in Fryeburg, and the former Kezar Falls M. E. Church.
