History comes down

Donna M. Perry/Sun Journal

Downeast Construction Corp. workers make progress Thursday on dismantling the former Forster Manufacturing mill on Depot Street in Wilton. Property owner Adam Mack of Portland previously told Wilton selectmen that he planned to demolish and reclaim materials from the 1903 building. All buildings and structures will be taken down and the basement filled in. Retaining walls, the pavement and a bridge on the edge of the property will stay. The demolition is expected to be done next spring.
