TO: BANGOR CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BANGOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
DATE: September 28, 1989
RE: Historic Designation of Eugene C. Nichola House
The Eugene C. Nichols house, on the corner of High and Union
Streets abutting Bangor's High Street Historic District, is an
important residence for inclusion on Bangor's list of historic
properties. The home was built in 1895 at the request of Mr.
Nichols, former owner of the Isaac Farrar Mansion. Mr. Nichols
chose to construct the home in one of the most important
residential districts in the city's downtown.
The home was designed by Wilfred E. Mansur, one of Bangor's most
prominent architects, and contains many of Mansur's signature
elements. The queen Anne design includes a rap -around porch
with balustrades, the asymmetric roof line typical of the period,
and the impressive three-story round tower Mansur made popular in
a handful of his other important residences. It also includes
diamond windows in the high, truncated dormers and elaborate
cornice brackets, both common elements in Mansur's other works.
The interior of the home retains its original fine interior
woodwork and detailing, much of which was fabricated at the Morse
Mill.
Upon the City Council's referral, the Historic Preservation
Commission voted on September 13, 1989, to designate the Nichols
house a historic property under the city's Historic
Preservation ordinance. In the Commission's studied opinion, the -
home meets all criteria for inclusion in the High Street Historic
District. The modern addition, though intrusive, does not affect
the home's eligibility for inclusion in the district. The
current owner, who requested historic designation for the
property, plane to remove the addition in the course of a
comprehensive restoration spanning the next two to three years.
