Historic Deering House in Maine Offered for $1 with Relocation Requirement
The historic Deering House in Bath, Maine, is being sold for $1 by Bath Iron Works, with the condition that the buyer relocates the building by November 2027. The house, originally owned by prominent shipbuilder Gardiner G. Deering, is currently used as office space. Bath Iron Works plans to demolish the house to make way for a new facility if no buyer steps forward. The sale includes no warranties, and the buyer must cover all relocation costs. The community hopes to preserve the house due to its historical significance in Bath's shipbuilding legacy.
