Description

Shows the Bragg, Cummings, and Co. building at 1 Broad Street, Pickering Square, circa 1887 to 1902. The business formed in 1864 as Bragg & Wescott, teaming with Cummings in 1887 (source: Leading Business Men of Bangor, Rockland, and Vicinity, published 1888).

This area of Bangor flooded in March 1902. Pictures of the flood revealed the building no longer had its top tower. This picture is most likely 1887 to mid 1890s.
