One of the first hospitals in Maine, and part of the rebuilding of Portland after the Great Fire of 1866, Maine General Hospital first opened its doors in 1874. A series of construction and renovation projects, including a $46 million expansion in 1984, resulted in the current complex totaling more than a million sf. The Maine General Hospital Building anchors the complex and houses the hospital’s administrative offices.
The project included a full slate roof replacement, exterior wood trim and wood window sash restoration, replacement of deteriorated building stones, cutting and pointing of mortar joints and painting of all exterior elements. .
