LIVERMORE FALLS — The Maine Historic Preservation Commission has approved the nomination of the Judson Record House/Maine Paper & Heritage Museum.
International Paper, which previously owned the Androscoggin Mill in Jay before it was sold to Verso Paper Corp. in 2006, donated the building to become the museum at 22 Church St. in Livermore Falls in 2007. The building was built in 1906 for the Record Family. It had housed paper mill managers for decades.
The nomination and supporting materials were sent Friday to the Keeper of the Register of the National Register of Historic Places in Washington, D.C., according to Christi Mitchell, a National Register coordinator and state architectural historian for the state commission.
Mitchell anticipates to hear from the Keeper by the second week of April, she said. She prepared the nomination that describes the building and analyzes why it is important to the local community.
The property is going to be listed under the historic name “Judson Record House” in recognition of the person for whom the building was built, Mitchell previously said.
The museum is overseen by a board of directors.
The National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation, according to its website, www.state.me.us/mhpc/national_register.
