Hallowell is looking for a firm to redesign its 193-year-old former fire station, a plan that would provide a new home for the police station and other community uses.
The city recently issued a request for qualifications from architectural and engineering firms to design of an adaptive reuse of the building at 124 Second St. that would provide a modern home for the police department, but retain historic elements of the 4,500-square-foot building, partly for a museum that would also locate there. Proposals are due Jan. 29.
Built in 1828, the two-story brick building was the town hall then city hall until 1899, when the new city hall was built a few blocks north on Winthrop Street. It became the fire station in 1900, and the department was housed there until 2018, when a new station was built at Steven s Commons.
