Property Highlights

The property is located on a major road corridor in Houlton near a new residential subdivision. The property is developed with a 3,050-square foot single story building operated as a convenience store and take-out restaurant.

Former Use: The Site was agricultural land owned by Cecil and June Benn in the 1940s (Benn Farm). The Site was first developed in 1950 with the original 1,300-square foot structure on the north side of the building. The property was acquired by Earl Callahan in 1955 and operated as a convenience store and gas station (Calais Road Market). Underground storage tanks (USTs) were reportedly installed at the Site prior to the 1960s. The property was acquired by Kenneth and Ruth Bossie in 1967 (Ken�s Store) and then Elwood Howard in 1975. A 4,000-gallon gasoline UST and 550-gallon kerosene UST were installed at the Site and the building was expanded to include the 1,200-square foot addition on the south side. Anthony Cook acquired the property in 1981 and installed an 8,000-gallon gasoline UST. The gasoline USTs were replaced with a 12,000-gallon UST in 1994. Kevin McPhee acquired the property in 1994 and the building was remodeled and expanded to the existing footprint in 1997. The property continued to be operated as a convenience store and gasoline station through the mid 2000s. Gasoline was reportedly last sold at the Site in 2007 or 2008. The property is currently vacant since 2015.
