Mill & Joiner Shop (1899)

0
Maine, Sagadahoc County, Bath

This sturdy industrial building housed a sawmill for cutting and shaping ship timbers and planks, and a joiner shop for the finer woodworking that went into vessels' cabins, deckhouses, railings, and interiors.

In 1909, the shed addition on the north side provided more lumber storage and a place for the schooners' small boats to be built.
