St. Lawrence Arts Center, Performing arts center in Munjoy Hill, Portland, United States.
St. Lawrence Arts Center is a performing arts venue located in a former church building on Congress Street in Portland. The main space is a theater with about 110 seats situated in what was originally the parish hall.
The building was constructed in 1897 as St. Lawrence Church and served the local Congregationalist community for many decades. Following its deconsecration in 1986, it was gradually converted into an arts center.
The center hosts theater productions, concerts, dance performances, and workshops throughout the year. This creates a gathering place where local artists regularly share their work with the community.
The venue is accessible for various types of events and available for private celebrations and community gatherings. Visitors should find it easily located on Congress Street and can access facilities designed for different mobility needs.
The structure combines Richardsonian Romanesque architecture with French Chateau design elements in a distinctive way. This blend of architectural styles creates a visually notable example of building design in Maine.
