Glimpses. 6 Eastern Promenade
By Request
A first visit to the Eastern Promenade. Home to some over-the-top architecture to match some over-the-top views. Our first is a ‘by request’ glimpse. And it’s over the top
West End Walks. 393-395 Danforth Street
Built in 1859 by Charles A Alexander as his own residence.
Charles A Alexander was a local architect whose work we have seen in the Spring mansions also on Danforth Street.

Glimpses. 5 Oakdale Street
Driving down Falmouth Street by the university and this caught my eye. Something intriguing and not quite right at the same time.
110 Pleasant Street. A carriage house with a long history.
It sits, rather forlornly, behind the group home at 71 High Street. Neglected and overlooked, it seems to be the victim of ‘destruction by neglect’. A sad state for a building with a long story to tell. With a construction date of 1800, I believe it to be the oldest carriage house in Portland.

159 Pine Street
An area of architectural design little contemplated in modern times but long an interest of mine. Style and quality range from bland to utilitarian to high style.
