Neal S. Dow House, 19th-century historic residence in Portland, United States.
The Neal S. Dow House at 714 Congress Street features Federal architectural elements with brick construction and seventeen interior rooms across multiple levels.
Built in 1829, this residence belonged to Neal Dow, who created Maine's first prohibition law in 1851 and ran for president in 1880.
The house functioned as a center for the temperance movement and provided shelter to African Americans seeking freedom during the pre-Civil War period.
The Maine Women's Christian Temperance Union maintains the property as a museum, displaying original furnishings and artifacts from Neal Dow's life.
The building contains three distinct sections, including a Victorian entrance hood and a single-story flat-roof component within its rectangular layout.
