Description

Sample portion:

In accordand with office telegram of May 6, 1911, directing a report of the fire damage to the United State Post Office and customhouse, Bangor, Me., I have to submit that the building and contents, with exception of foundation and heating plant, is a total loss. If reconstruction is contemplated on the present site the alls will have to be taken down to grade level. On the east and north sides, where the fire was most severe, the granite facing is spawled off almost to the backing, and likewise at openings on the south and west sides. The original building, built in 1856, was extended to the south in 1869 and the the north in 1904.
