Reviews
"One of the stops on the Portland Freedom Trail. The building was closed. It looks like it could use a little TLC. There are is a marker for the trail on the sidewalk."
"This building is of great historical significance, and I have watched it deteriorate and then be rejuvenated over the past 46 years. The non-profit that is restoring it has done a remarkable job, but it is taking time because they have never borrowed money to make it happen. Happily, things have sped up in the past few years, with an increase in attention and consequently, in donations. I am proud that that it still stands, and look forward to the completion in the not-to-distant future."
"A restoration in progress."
"Its closed right now, their is construction of condos being built near it. I cant wait to come back and visit when its open"
