The Old Church Concert Hall

The Old Church Concert Hall is the oldest church building in downtown Portland still standing on its original site. You can recognize it by its Carpenter Gothic architecture, a nineteenth-century style that interprets traditional Gothic forms in wood rather than stone. Built in eighteen eighty-two, the structure features cathedral-style windows, ornate window traceries, and a distinct porte-cochere on its west side, which once sheltered parishioners arriving by horse and carriage.
