"If you live in Maine, chances are that you have seen or been in several buildings designed by John Calvin Stevens—he is not only Maine’s most celebrated architect, he may just be its most prolific. Over his illustrious 60-year career, from 1880 until his death in 1940, Stevens completed more than 1,000 commissions, including approximately 300 on the Portland peninsula and another 100 in Portland’s Deering neighborhood. Unlike any single architect before or since, Stevens’s work and legacy have come to define that most enduring of qualities: the Maine mystique." MAINE HOME + DESIGN, September 2007

Less than a mile from Portland's Old Port and Arts District, this elegant, John Calvin Stevens Greek Revival home is prominently located in a lovely residential neighborhood. Massive pillars guard a front entrance that opens onto a marble-floored foyer and graceful staircase. With 14 rooms including 6 bedrooms and 5 baths this is a substantial home. Formal dining and living rooms with built-ins, a large eat-in kitchen, 3 working fireplaces, a walk-in cedar closet, and a basement recreation room are nicely done. Records differ, but we believe this home was built for a prominant local doctor in either 1905 or 1911.
