Property Highlights

The site was previously cleaned up. However in 2024, there is a new prospective purchaser who would like to redevelop the building at 130 Birge St. for mixed use including housing. A Phase II and HBMA have been completed for 130 Birge St.

Former Use: Estey Organ produced pipe organs, then transitioned to electronic organs in the 1950s. Property is on a relatively flat bluff.

Cleanup was completed for 116, 122, 130 and 132 Birge St.
