A new post on the blog. 209 State Street is just off Longfellow Square on the Deering Street side. Built in 1855 for a native of Thompson Connecticut named John Munger. Munger was an attorney who had been in Portland for just over a decade when he built the double house. It's a traditional Italianate with some very unique details. Possibly designed by a little known, in Portland anyway, architect named Charles Kirby. Also, what does Ruskin have to do with all of this? Check the link in my bio for the whole story. #portlandhousestories #architecture #venitiangothic #portlandmaine #portlandlandmarks #ruskin #history #thenandnow #wordpress
