The Grand Trunk Railway Station at the intersection of Fore and India Streets was constructed in 1903. When rail service to Montreal stopped, the station was abandoned. Having already lost the clock tower due to safety concerns in 1948, the building was demolished in 1966. The office building adjacent to the station (1 India St.) was also at risk of destruction, but has been expertly restored and is now the head office of Gorham Savings Bank.
In the heyday of the rail road in Portland, the Grand Trunk Railway had extensive properties on the waterfront. You can virtually explore the whole complex of 84-184 Fore Street using 1924 tax records at Maine Memory Network.
