Historic Narrative

Built by 1901 as the office and a storage and packing facility for the National Enameling and Stamping Co., makers of tinware, cooking utensils and oil cans. The building was used by the Maine Products Co. for 'mica work' by 1907. In 1912, the standing structure was used as a tobacco warehouse while the now demolished rear section was used for storage by the New England Enameling Co. The building was used for storage by the American Motor Truck and Tractor Co. in 1924, and by 1939 the rear section had been demolished.
