Spring Street Historic District
Spring Street Historic District, Historic district in Portland, Maine.
The Spring Street Historic District contains numerous 19th-century residential and commercial buildings with decorative cornices, stone facades, and period-specific architectural elements.
Following Portland's devastating fire of 1866, this district preserved many pre-fire structures, leading to its recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
The district incorporates the Charles Q. Clapp House, McLellan-Sweat Mansion, and Victoria Mansion, which collectively represent Portland's architectural evolution through different periods.
The district extends from Danforth and Brackett Streets in the south to Forest Avenue in the north, with Pine Street and Oak Street marking additional boundaries.
A 1988 protest against the demolition of an 1857 building led Portland's City Council to establish stronger preservation laws for all historic districts.
