This recommendation is based on the Commissicm'a careful study of these structures initiated in into January, 1977. Applications were duly received for these designations under Chapter EII, Article 4, Section 5, and copies are attached to this report. - Following the discussion of the merits of these sites, and visits to the sites where required, written application was made to Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission for his review, as r required by Section 4.1. All were approved for designation by Mr. skettleworth, �. /g7 ♦ /88 and a public hearing was held on April 27, 1977: The Commissionheard no objection to the proposed designations, and therefore recommends their design- ation under Section 5.3 (Bangor House and Wheelwright Block). Brief descriptions follow of the historical and architectural significance of each proposed designation. Bangor House. Closely modeled after Boston's Tremont House (1828-29) the first. modern hotel in America, the Hangar House was designed by Hangar architect Charles G. Bryant and built by Lyman Seavey in 1833-34. It is one of the last remaining "palace hotels" on the nation and an outstanding work of Greek Revival style. It filled an important social need for the increasingly prosperous and cosmopolitan lumber capital of the world, and was thee r the years of many notable political events. Though successive additions have somewhat changed its original shape, its elegant form and decorations remain an important focal point for the city center. wheelwright Block. The wheelwright Block was designed by the local architects, Benjamin S. Deane and Edwin Lee Prown, in 1859. It was the first Second Empire business blockbuilt in Main a and is probably the most beautiful one in the state. Relatively unaltered above the first floor, the window treatment i especially fine. The Wheelwright Mock is probably the single most/important element of visual distinction in the downtown a of Bangor, and eery attempt should be made to find a viable nae for which itcanbe thoroughly rehabilitated. If it were demolished, much of the visual coherence and quality of .the neighbor- ing parts of Main, Broad and HammondStreets would disappear. dThees Commission is requesting that the end the further action upon designation of the is Hearing g that antl the Btandpine District. It was lq p decided at the Public onsrsho that these in theirs should es raconsideretl and that samealterations should be mads in their boundaries.
