Property Description
DEADLINE FOR HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS! 11/14 at 5 p.m. - with response time of 11/17 at 5 p.m. ALL investors including those with experience in historic rehabilitation or preparing property for other development are invited to submit offers. Building is currently in disrepair and it is uninhabitable. The 30,000 square foot building is famous for its role in innovating the ''roll-top can,'' which became the gold standard for use in the worldwide sardine industry. The 1908 American Can Company building comprises .69 of the 1.3 acres & 535 feet of water frontage for sale. The property is one of 31 buildings in the Eastport Historic District. Erected by the Seacoast Canning Company in 1908, when the company was the largest in the industry, the structure includes 20-inch thick brick walls, rough-cut granite window sills, and a heavy timber structural system signaling a sense of prosperity and permanence. The only remaining structure on the land is the 30,000 square-foot vacant factory. The historic gem was named one of the state's 'most endangered historic places' by Maine Preservation in 2022. The building has a concrete pier jutting into Passamaquoddy Bay. The pier is supported by 139 concrete pilings. The property is served by electricity, public water & sewer. Phase I & II environmental assessments are available. Poised on the easternmost edge of America overlooking Passamaquoddy Bay, the sturdy architectural treasure greets the high tides of the great Bay of Fundy as it faces Campobello Island, Canada, and welcomes the nation's first sunrise to Eastport, Maine's smallest city. Proof of funds required with offer.
