Architect Mac Collins describes changes that will be made to 6 Holbrook St. in Freeport, which Leon Leonwood Bean called home for 55 years until his death in 1967. The town’s Project Review Board conducted a site walk of the property last Wednesday, and later, the board approved a design review certificate and site plan amendment, which will allow L.L. Bean to tear down additions to the structure, and then restore it to its historically significant appearance.
