Great Fire of 1911 Historic District
Great Fire of 1911 Historic District, Historic district in downtown Bangor, United States.
The Great Fire of 1911 Historic District contains 48 buildings and three parks constructed between 1911 and 1915, representing half of Bangor's commercial area.
A devastating fire on April 30, 1911, destroyed hundreds of buildings in Bangor, leading to a complete reconstruction that transformed the city's architecture.
The district exhibits Renaissance Revival, Romanesque Revival, Chicago School, Prairie Style, Art Deco, Classical Revival, and Colonial Revival architectural elements.
The district includes the Bangor Public Library, Bangor High School, Morse Building, and First National Bank, all constructed during the reconstruction period.
Three parks within the district - Norumbega Mall, Kenduskeag Mall, and Pierce Park - were created as part of the urban renewal following the fire.
