Spring Historic House Gala

On May 28, 2008, Greater Portland Landmarks will host the Spring Historic House Gala, celebrating the 101st birthday of the Richard Webb House! Of all of John Calvin Stevens Colonial Revival residences, this was his professed favorite. The home has been carefully stewarded by Peter and Barbara Shaw for the last 24 years, and features a gorgeous sweeping staircase and trademark Stevens touches such as rich woodwork and beautifully proportioned spaces.

Enjoy a catered reception, live jazz piano music and presentations by Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission and Christopher Monkhouse, Chief Curator of European Decorative Arts at the Art Institute of Chicago.  The event is from 5:30 pm -7:30 pm. Remarks will begin promptly at 6:15pm.
