From National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form (2016):
The property at 15 Sea Street, in Eastport, Maine, built in 1908 as a can factory for the Seacoast Canning Company and long owned by the American Can Company, is comprised of a two-story 120' by 130' brick factory building with low slope gable roof and a nearly square center wood-frame clerestory, with a concrete pier. The factory building is located on the east side of Sea Street and is readily visible from Water Street, the primary commercial corridor of downtown Eastport. The building and pier, with the exception of the west end adjacent to Sea Street, sits on concrete pilings and projects out over the water. Concrete and asphalt pavement abuts the base of the building along the east side (concrete pier), north side (concrete sidewalk), and west side (Sea Street) and at the southwest corner of the building. The seaward side (east) of the building and pier faces Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada.
