Down the Road Apiece: Moving Maine's Buildings

Aimee Keithan, Educational Programs Manager at Greater Portland Landmarks

Before the wrecking ball, there was the moving crew. Join Aimee Keithan of Greater Portland Landmarks for a fascinating exploration of a once-common practice: physically relocating entire buildings rather than demolishing them. This lecture examines why Mainers and New Englanders moved structures, from practical concerns like land use and development to early preservation instincts. In an era when labor was cheap and materials expensive, moving made economic sense. Discover the engineering ingenuity behind these relocations and learn how this resourceful tradition connects to modern historic preservation efforts. By choosing to move buildings instead of tearing them down,communities preserved their architectural heritage one structure at a time.
