Additional Property Attributes

The Moosehead Furniture Mill Site includes 3 parcels Map 8, Lots 28, 29, and 30 encompassing a total of approximately 89 acres. Lot 28 consists of the developed main mill buildings and encompasses approximately 18 acres. Lots 29 and 30 mainly consist of undeveloped wooded land encompassing approximately 71 acres. The assessment funding for this site under this grant was divided evenly between Lot 28 and Lots 29/30. Following completion of assessments in early 2011, the former mill sold at auction to Monson Maine Slate Co.

Former Use: The Moosehead Furniture Mill Site consists of 3 parcels encompassing a total of approximately 89 acres. Lot 28 the main mill parcel consists of 11 buildings encompassing approximately 18 acres. Based on available information, the Site consisted of unimproved land prior to circa 1880. The Site and vicinity were utilized as slate quarries beginning in the mid to late-1800s. The Monson-Maine Slate Company operated a slate manufacturing mill and narrow gauge railroad at the Site from circa 1880 to circa 1943. In 1947, the Site was acquired by Moosehead formerly Moosehead Woodcrafters and operated as a wood furniture manufacturing facility until the business closed in the Fall 2009. The Site has remained vacant to the present date, since closing in 2009. The southern portion of the Site is developed with eleven buildings the �Site buildings�, which are currently vacant, but were most recently occupied by the Moosehead wood furniture manufacturing facility. These buildings appear to have been constructed on slate tailings deposited on-Site at various dates from circa 1880 to 2003. Wood furniture manufacturing activities conducted at the Site included cutting, drying, assembly, staining, painting, and storage of raw lumber, stock lumber, and finished wood furniture. Moosehead also stored and maintained their equipment and vehicles throughout the Site. Remaining portions of the southern developed portion of the Site consist of railroad sidings, asphalt-paved driveways/parking areas, crushed-gravel stock lumber storage yards, grassed areas, and steep retaining walls/sloped hills constructed of slate tailings. The northern and western portions of the Site consists of undeveloped wooded land separated by a Central Maine Power Company CMP electrical transmission corridor.
