| Notes | The Abington Building, demolished in 1967, was Portland's first 5-story structure. The original work had a mansard roof and tower which were replaced by a redesigned fifth floor after suffering fire damage. This structure was built by Simeon Reed and named after his home town, Abington, Massachusetts. Reed founded Reed Institute (Reed College). |
