It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; the nomination cited an association with Lee B. Loomis, but that historical claim was not upheld. The house is also known as the John Annand House and the Lee B. Loomis House.
The house carries two names because it was built for John Annand, a Portland businessman and City Commissioner, and later became linked to Lee B. Loomis. That Loomis association was part of the National Register nomination, but the historical claim was not upheld, so the Loomis name survives without official backing.
The house can only be viewed from the street since it remains a private residence with no public interior tours available. Visiting on a clear day allows you to best appreciate the formal exterior design, well-maintained landscaping, and architectural details from the sidewalk.
The property was nominated to the National Register partly because of its link to Lee B. Loomis, but that historical claim was not upheld. The listing rests instead on the house itself, finished in 1908 for John Annand, a Portland businessman and City Commissioner.
