Property Highlights

Former Use: The Site encompasses approximately 1.24 acres of land located in a primarily residential area of Belfast. The Site is currently improved with one building (the ?Site building?), which is describes as the Waterfall Arts building. The building is connected to municipal water and sewer services and is currently heated and cooled with an electric heat pump system. The Site building was formerly heated with a coal-fired boiler and a fuel oil-fired boiler. Remaining portions of the Site are improved with asphalt-paved driveways/parking areas, grassed lawns, a playground, and landscaped areas. Based on available information, the Site was improved with a residence dating back to the early 1900s. Sometime around 1912, this residence was converted to the McClellan Public School, which occupied the Site, until it was destroyed by a fire in the early 1930s. A majority of the existing Site building was constructed in 1935 and the southwestern addition was constructed in 1947. The existing Site building was originally utilized as the Governor Anderson School (public elementary school), until the school vacated the property in 2004. The City of Belfast acquired the Site in 2004 and sold it to the Arts Center of Kingdom Falls in 2005. The Site and building have been utilized as an arts center (Waterfall Arts), since 2005.
