Woodward Thomsen closes doors

Woodward Thomsen Co., the architectural millwork and construction company responsible for projects such as the renovation of the Portland Observatory, has closed its doors.

The 33-year-old company's location on Danforth Street in Portland has been shuttered for several weeks and the building's owner, J.B. Brown & Sons, is currently looking for a new tenant. Several phone calls to Woodward Thomsen's owner, Larry Chaney, were not returned.

Vin Veroneau, president and CEO of J.B. Brown & Sons, told Mainebiz that Woodward Thomsen moved out of the building in November. And, according to an auction notice, the Keenan Auction Co. in South Portland sold off Woodward Thomsen's woodworking equipment in mid December. The company employed approximately 20 people and had revenue of $3.7 million, according to Dun & Bradstreet, a New Jersey-based firm that supplies business information and research.

CLRS Enterprises, which did business as Woodward Thomsen, is listed as "administratively dissolved" in the Maine Secretary of State's corporate filing database.
