Overview

Description

This ornate, brick Queen Anne Style was designed by Francis H. Fassett and John Calvin Stevens for local flour merchant Malcolm F. Hammond. Portland's Historic Resources Inventory dates the construction circa 1882 and fortunately 139 years later this magnificent combination of brick, slate, detailed woodwork, stained glass, and pink granite remain relatively intact. Today, as a 7 unit apartment building, it provides housing options consisting of two efficiencies and five 1 bedroom units. Many of the units have a pleasing aesthetic with original details throughout-including stunning fireplaces. The grand entrance hallway and staircase to the second floor, with a soaring stained glass window are also inviting to come home to. For tenant convenience there are 5/6 off street parking spaces, landscaping, recently paved driveway, and a storage bin in the basement. Landlords will appreciate the efficient gas boiler, hot water storage, separate electric meters and a basement workshop that is definitely a logistical bonus! Mr. Fassett and Mr. Stevens brilliant combination of ever-lasting materials and unique configuration of gables, corbels, arches and a conical tower are seeking a new steward to insure the longevity of 24 Mellen Street. The current family has lovingly cared for this building for the last 26 years and it's now time to pass on this great piece of West End architecture!
