Baxter Building (Portland, Maine)
The Baxter Building is an historic building located at 619
Maine College of Art (MECA). MECA utilized the space for studio space, dark rooms, as a computer lab and library. In 2010, MECA sold the building to Northland Enterprises LLC, which then leased it to the VIA Group.[1]
The building was designed by local architect
Scott Simons Architects and Archetype Architects, which was partially funded through a $272,000 tax break from the City Council as well as through federal historical tax credits.[4][5][6]
