Property Highlights

Former Use: Historic records indicate that the initial construction of the Arsenal commenced in 1828. The arsenal fabricated and stored military supplies and served as barracks for troops stationed at the arsenal. In 1905 the Federal Government transferred the property to the State of Maine for use by the Maine Insane Hospital. From 1905 to 1970, the Maine Insane Hospital housed patients and hospital staff at the facility. In 1906, the State constructed the Old Max Building on the property to house potentially dangerous patients. In 1970 the Maine Insane Hospital ceased use and operations at the Site. Since 1970, the Site has been used as offices and limited residential use by AMHI and other State of Maine agencies. In 2006 the State of Maine Department of Administration and Financial Services Natural Resources Services Center moved into the Old Max once abatement of mold and asbestos was completed. In 2007, the property was sold to Niemann Capital, the current owner, the property is now unoccupied.
