January 7, 1946 - Bangor Daily News Historical Significance From 1945 through 1953, 490 Broadway served as a bus garage for Hasey's Maine Stage Building. This business emerged at a time when railroad transportation was diminishing as automobile transportation increased, making Hasey's uniquely positioned to serve as the transportation from central Maine to more rural and northern parts of Maine. Architectural Character Hasey's Maine Stage Building is one of Bangor's few Streamline Moderne buildings. The Streamline Moderne style emerged Post-World War Two and was defined by a sleek and efficient look, often related to transportation. Designed by Paul Elliott Atwood, 490 Broadway exemplifies this style with a flat roof, smooth stucco wall surface, rounded corner with glass block window and horizontal banding. Additional Details In March 2024, the Hasey's Maine Stage Building at 490 Broadway was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places based on its local significance (contribution to history and distinctive characteristics). Bangor Historic Preservation Co�n�nission Discussion,May 9, 2024,June 13, 2024 At the May 9, 2024 meeting Property Owner Loren Coleman presented to the Commission and provided an overview of the history and architecture of the building, as well his ownership and plans for the property.
