Demolition of Clark & Sewall Building Clears Front Street Block
A historic two story Clark and Sewall store on Front street near Summer is being razed to make way for a new parking lot. The site, once bought in 1826 by James McLellan, housed Clark and Sewall merchants and shipbuilders, later becoming the Bath National Bank in 1863 and the People’s Safe Deposit era in 1894. The Sagadahoc Real Estate Association later acquired the property.
