Nichols Block

The Nichols Block (1892) is a prominent Romanesque Revival style commercial building in downtown Bangor, Maine.

The building is one of few in the Exchange St. district of Bangor to have escaped both the Great Fire of 1911 and the so-called urban renewal programme of the late 1960s.

Nichols' new building was apparently an investment, and was initially occupied by Meyer M. Levy's Bangor Clothing Store and, on the upper stories, a "Social Hall" rented for functions.

[1] The opening function was a dance, just before Christmas in 1892, hosted by Miss June Nichols, the owner's daughter.

Nichol's house, a wooden mansion with a prominent round tower, still standing on Union St. at the corner with High St.[3]
