Property Highlights

Former Use: The Site historically consisted of salt marshes and wetlands until sometime prior to 1866. The Site was then used as a brick yard, including several sheds and kilns, until the early 1900s. Additionally, a residential structure was present until the early 1900s in the northwestern portion of the Site along Douglass Avenue. Beginning in the early 1900s, the Site was reportedly used by the City of Portland as a solid waste dump and was acquired by the City in in the late 1930s through the mid-1940s. In 1962, the West School was constructed in the central portion of the Site and used as an elementary school. The school was used as an adult educational facility beginning in the mid-1980s until the structure was vacated in 2013. The building was demolished in 2016. The school maintained a fuel oil underground storage tank (UST) during operation. Elevated concentrations of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified in indoor air at the school and a ventilation system was installed in 1982. Dougherty Field has occupied the northern and eastern portions of the Site since the 1960s.
