General Dynamics Bath Iron Works has listed two historic residential buildings in Bath, Maine, for $1 each to facilitate industrial expansion. This offer includes the circa-1900 Deering House, which was once owned by shipbuilder Gardiner G. Deering.

The sale is contingent upon the buyer assuming all costs and risks associated with relocating the structures to a permitted site by November 20, 2027. If no relocation plan is established by the deadline, the buildings will be demolished to make way for new company facilities intended to support regional growth and employment. The company expressed hope that preservationists might save the historic architecture through relocation.
