Eastport Historic DistrictDescription
The Eastport Historic District is a homogeneous and cohesive grouping of 30 architecturally and/or historically significant buildings. Nearly all were built within a year or two after a disastrous fire wiped out the entire waterfront and commercial area in 1886. The district encompasses the present commercial section which lies next to the shore where the sardine industry once flourished. Of further interest is the fact that most of the buildings were designed by a single architect and are stylistically similar. The buildings are in various conditions but are all capable of rehabilitation. In general the area reflects the rough and ready prosperitiy of a sea-oriented frontier community.
The district boundaries include all the significant commercial structures and there are no intrusions save for a small shed next to Building 24 which is to be removed within the next two months.Web Links and URLs
