Wadsworth-Longfellow House
Wadsworth-Longfellow House, Historic house in Portland, United States
The three-story brick residence contains original furniture, personal belongings, and family artifacts spanning four generations of the Wadsworth-Longfellow family.
General Peleg Wadsworth constructed this Federal-style residence between 1785 and 1786, making it the first complete brick building in Portland.
The house represents the early American literary heritage as the childhood residence of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow until he turned thirteen.
The Maine Historical Society maintains the house museum, offering guided tours from June through October that highlight daily life in early American periods.
Every item within the house remains authentic to the Wadsworth and Longfellow families, providing direct connections to Portland's eighteenth-century residential heritage.
