Property Highlights

The Site has been developed since at least 1885. In 1885, the Site was developed with tenements and livery stables with a blacksmith along the southern edge of the Site. This use continued through at least 1912, but by 1922, the Site was developed as a post office, and Liberty Ave (now Federal Street) was added along the southern property line. By 1922, a garage was located south (presumably upgradient of the Site) with a 1,000-gallon gasoline UST located within Library Ave. By 1932, a filling station was located along the southeastern property line along Franklin Street and two gasoline tanks were located within Franklin Street east of the Site. Use of the Site as a post office with a filling station continued through at least 1976. The Site was eventually converted to the City Court House; however, has been vacant for more than one year.

Former Use: The Site is a 0.33-acre parcel of land located in the in the downtown Biddeford Main Street Historic District. The Site consists of one 10,477 square foot one-story vacant building (Site building). The building has a granite water table, a granite foundation, and brick walls. It comprises a large open room with two smaller rooms on the first floor, a basement with several rooms including a boiler room, and an attic. The Site building was constructed from 1913 to 1914 and has not been significantly renovated. The Site building is accessed via the front entrance (west) on Washington Street or through three side entrances on the right (south), rear (east), and left (north) sides of the building.
