Property Features
Although the Bangor Police Department and Community Center was constructed in 1963, the lot on which it stands was purchased for village use sometime between 1911 and 1922 at which time an earlier building on the site was repurposed for use as a village hall and fire department. In 1931, the village’s first purpose-built fire station was constructed on the lot (AHI# 242919). This small building served to shelter and maintain the village’s fire equipment. In 1963, the older building that had been used as a village hall was razed to make way for a modern police station and community hall. This was constructed immediately south of the fire station. At the same time, a new fire station was constructed three blocks east on Commercial Street (outside of the Bangor Commercial Historic District) and the 1931 building became an element of the police station.
