Property Highlights

Former Use: The Site consists of an irregular-shaped parcel of land, encompassing approximately 1.45 acres, located along the northern side of Front Street, approximately 250 feet west of the intersection of Front Street and Main Street in the City of Belfast, Waldo County, Maine. The Site is identified by the City of Belfast Assessor?s Office as Tax Map 11, Lot 136, which corresponds to 45 Front Street. The Site is currently improved with two buildings, Masker?s Theater and Storage Building, and a marina wharf along the harbor shoreline (Thompson?s Wharf). Based on available information, the Site and surrounding properties along Front Street consisted of submerged and/or partially-submerged land of Belfast Harbor, prior to circa 1870, at which time the Site and adjoining properties were developed with the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Rail Road (B&MLRR). During its development, portions of the Site and immediate vicinity were constructed of filled land and were also reportedly utilized as a solid waste dump during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Masker?s Theater building operated as the freight house for the B&MLRR, from circa 1870 until 1985, and the Storage Building was utilized as a locomotive house by B&MLRR, from its construction circa 1951 until B&MLRR vacated the Site in 1985. Several additional railroad-related structures have historically been present at the Site, including other locomotive houses, passenger station, loading docks, a railway turntable, coal sheds, and outbuildings, which were constructed and demolished at various dates ranging from circa 1870 to circa 1985. Masker?s Theater building was utilized as a playhouse for the Belfast Maskers Theater troupe from 1994 to 2011.
