The 1898 James Fadden Building now anchors the western end of the Strand Mechanic Historic District, which is both a local landmark and a National Historic Landmark district. Nicholas Clayton, one of the state’s most noted 19th century architects, designed the building for James Fadden’s wholesale wine, liquor and cigar business in 1898. In 2013, construction on a Federal Transit Administration funded bus and parking facility required drilling foundation supports into the ground. On doing so, the foundation of the building was penetrated, causing structural damage to the west and north elevations.
