142 Free Street New Construction and Sitework
Portland
Description
The museum proposed a site enclosure and sitework — a wood and fabric-and-cable structure about 55 by 77 feet and up to 24 feet tall — at its Free Street property next to Congress Square.
Impact summary
A building-scale enclosure on a corner of Congress Square would change the look of a prominent spot in Portland's most visible historic district, near four designated landmarks.
