Portland Packing Company Factory
The Portland Packing Company was founded about 1862, by the merger of two smaller packing companies. By the turn of the 20th century, the company was Maine's largest vegetable canning business, an industry that exceeded the combined size of state's slate, granite, and ice harvesting business in economic importance. This building was part of one of thirteen factories operated by the company in the state, and was built in 1884. Its design is attributed to Portland architect Francis H. Fassett on stylistic grounds. It functioned primarily as a storage facility, and was in 1927 sold to Blake Rounds Supply Company. After some years of vacancy and neglect, it was rehabilitated for commercial use in 1995-6.
