Meet at Intersection of Spring and High Streets, across the street from the Portland Museum of Art

This tour explores the architecture and history of the Spring Street/State Street neighborhood, a vibrant district adjacent to the Congress Street Arts District. Once considered “the most beautiful neighborhood in Portland,” this area was home to many of the city’s wealthy and powerful in the 19th century. The tour includes stories about stately homes and their inhabitants, including Victoria Mansion, Safford House and the present-day Cumberland Club. We’ll also discuss how the neighborhood changed with the times, adding duplexes and row houses to meet the needs of an emerging middle and working class, and how it was impacted by urban renewal.
