The infamously tilted tower of Bucksport’s town-owned former seminary will soon be righted by emergency repairs. The wooden support beams of the 178-year-old former seminary’s tower, a landmark visible from miles away, are rotting. They are a safety threat and need immediate replacement, town Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Hammond said. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places but left derelict for about 20 years, Wilson Hall came within a town councilor’s vote of being razed in 2014 before residents eager to save the structure raised $5,000 for partial repairs. [Historic Bucksport hall’s fate hinges on $1 million rehab for eldercare] The repairs “will take the pressure off the remaining part of that tower.
