Historic Congress Street building in line for conversion
Denovo LLC, the firm behind the recent restoration of the Colonial Inn in Ogunquit, has revealed plans to convert the historic building at 749 Congress St. into a hotel, spa and eatery, in addition to adding seven, four-story townhouses behind the building.
The Portland Press Herald spoke to the lead of the project, Nathan Delois, about the plans for the $3.2 million redevelopment that will see the former Hay and Peabody Funeral Home, which was built in 1881, converted into a 15-room hotel, a spa and a 35-seat restaurant.
The proposal still needs to get the green light from the city of Portland, with the Planning Board holding a public hearing on Tuesday and the Historic Preservation Board set to hold a second workshop for the proposal on Wednesday. Delois told the Press Herald that he hopes that the project will be completed by next spring.
