Additional Property Attributes

The Site totals approximately 1.25-acres and is improved with one approximately 4,025 square foot, two-story building constructed around 1920. Access to the Site is made via Pine Street Extension to the north, and the Nashua Power Canal creates the Site's eastern boundary. The remainder of the Site is gravel or asphalt parking, surrounded on the western and southern edges by vegetated area.

Until at least 1902, the Site was vacant and wooded. By 1912, two wood and lumber sheds were constructed onsite to support Estabrook-Anderson Shoe Company operations. By 1920, the West Auto House (current Site building) was constructed northeast of the sheds to support operations at the north-adjoining Nashua Manufacturing Company. The West Auto House contained three garage bays used for auto and truck repair, and a "washroom" on the southern end of the building. Although the Nashua Manufacturing Company ceased operations in 1948 and sold the Site to the Nashua Textile Company in 1950, the Site buildings and uses remained similar through 1955. In 1959, the Stanley Elevator Company began operating the former West Auto House as a machine shop. By 1999, when ownership of the Site transferred to the City, the machine shop operation ceased and the Site was then used as a police training facility for the Nashua Police Department and other surrounding law enforcement organizations. Between 1998 and 2001, the two lumber sheds/pole barns at the Site were demolished and turned into gravel parking and vegetated area.

In June 2022, a spill from two 275-gallon #2 fuel oil aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) occurred on the southern end of the Site building, impacting an area of approximately 600 square feet of soil. Prior to excavation of contaminated soil in October 2022, two new 275-gallon ASTs and a new concrete block enclosure were installed in the same location as the former ASTs. Excavation of impacted soil did not extend beneath the new concrete block enclosure. Approximately 79 tons of contaminated soil were excavated and disposed of offsite. The excavation ranged from 1.5-6 feet deep, and groundwater was not encountered. Thirteen confirmatory samples were taken from the sidewalls and bottom of the excavation. One sample from the north wall closest to the concrete block enclosure equaled the New Hampshire Soil Remediation Standard (SRS) for total petroleum hydrocarbons - diesel range organics (TPH-DRO). Up to 4 cubic yards of residual petroleum-impacted soil remains immediately south of and likely under the new AST enclosure. The volatile nature of petroleum can lead to migration in soil vapor below the Site building foundation.
