Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The Site comprises approximately 10 acres on the Portland�s eastern waterfront. The Site was formerly used by the Portland Company to manufacture and repair locomotives, steam engines and boilers. More recently, the Site was used for the storage and maintenance of boats, miscellaneous storage and warehousing, and the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum is also located on Site. There are currently 15 buildings and two detached sheds located on the Site some of which are planned for demolition, with others preserved and incorporated into a large-scale mixed-use redevelopment. The Portland Company, founded in 1845, was originally referred to as the Portland Iron Manufacturing Company and was later renamed to The Portland Company in 1846. The Site was first developed in April 1847, when a foundry, blacksmith shop and machine shop were constructed. All buildings were constructed of brick with slate roofs. The Portland Company�s shops began operations as a railroad locomotive foundry in October 1847 and a wooden railroad car shop was added in the fall of 1847. Historic operations at the facility included construction of steam locomotives, railroad cars, marine boilers and engines, ships (shipyard was in South Portland), lighthouse equipment (spiral staircases, fog signal machines), fire engines, elevators, paper making machines, artillery shell casings (WWI), plastic bottle extruding and forming machines, and nuclear containment vessels for the Rowe, Massachusetts generating plant. Manufacturing at the facility ceased in 1982 and the Site was later converted into a boat repair and storage yard, the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum, and other commercial and light industrial businesses.
