The former Key Bank building at 107 Main St. in Winthrop has a new owner the
Winthrop Maine Historical Society, which ended a 10-year process of looking for a new home when it closed on the 2,596-square-foot building in February.
The society paid $100,000 for the building, funded through donations, including a GoFundMe page. Brokers Eben Thomas, of
Thomas Agency, and Mary Denison, of
Lake and Denison, helped seal the deal, the society said. The building will be called the Winthrop History and Heritage Center once renovations are complete (which requires more fundraising), and the society intends to make good use of two large bank vaults in the building. The building will house its extensive collection and also have display, function and gift-shop space.

In 2019, the Board of Directors began in earnest the task of actually finding a suitable home in downtown, according to a news release from Mary Richards of Winthrop.
