- Description
- The Graham building housed the Odd Fellows, Knights of Malta, several other secret societies and the Nickle Theatre. Built in 1906 and designed by Wilfred E. Mansur, it was designed to follow a curve in Central Street, had the first concrete foundation of a business building in Bangor, and combined the Chicago Style with Beaux Arts classical details. After the fire, it was torn down and replaced with various single story businesses and the temporary post office. Here, a pair of workers clear rubble, one driving a horse and cart on the right, and another waiting on the left. The picture shows a view down Franklin Street, and the other buildings in the image are unidentified.
