Freight Shed to Food Hall

Repurposing the past into a sustainable future

May 5, 2010

On Wednesday, May 5 at 5pm at Bath’s Winter Street Center, the public was invited to see architectural design proposals and participate in a community-wide conversation about potential preservation strategies of the last remaining 19th century freight shed in the downtown area.

This semester, students in the Intermediate Independent Study in Visual Arts at Bowdoin College, taught by Wiebke Theodore, partnered with KELT to develop design proposals in response to the City of Bath’s comprehensive and climate action plans.

The project presentations will represent three different approaches to the redevelopment of a waterfront site at the base of Lambard Street incorporating public waterfront access, renewable energy, demonstration gardens, bike commuter parking, local foods distribution and historic preservation strategies.

With the participation of KELT the students have learned about the rich architectural history of Bath and the vital role that land trusts plays in land conservation. The event is open to the public. Refreshments provided.
