Old Phippsburg Landmark Razed by Wreckers Fire and Dynamite
Supervisors Ralph Doughty of West Point and Arthur Murphy of Sebasco oversaw the razing of the historic red brick shipyard store built in 1606. The structure, once a general store and trading center, had deteriorated and attracted repeated break ins. Ada Haggett of Phippsburg lamented losing a landmark tied to local maritime history. The Minott family owned the property since the 1850s, with owners and managers guiding the store through lines of succession until its 1925 closure.
