Location: 181 Western Promenade, Portland
Admission: $50.00
Greater Portland Landmarks is proud to present the third annual Spring Historic House Gala at the George West Mansion (1910-11).
This stunning Georgian Revival home was designed by celebrated Portland architect Frederick A. Tompson (1857-1919). Constructed of yellow brick with cast stone trim and Ionic columns supporting the two-story portico, and featuring a gambrel roof covered in orange tile, the West Mansion is the largest and most elaborate turn-of-the-century dwelling in Portland.
Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, will speak about the unique features of the house, its architect, and its original owner ‘s choice to build this architectural gem.
Tickets are $50 per person, and proceeds benefit our education programs for children. You may also purchase tickets by calling 207 774-5561 ext. 105, or visiting us at the Safford House, 93 High Street.
