- Historical Property Description: The Mariners Building was built in 1881 by the Portland Seamen’s Friend Society, an organization dedicated to providing a better standard of living for the sailors upon whose backs so much of Portland’s industry rested. The Mariners Building served as a safe place and boarding house for sailors, its objective to keep them away from the harmful influence of booze, drugs, and the Shanghai tunnels during their stay in Portland. The building’s owners and purposes have changed over the years, but its cast-iron facade and recessed pilasters have remained largely the same. Only about 20 such facades remain in Portland today, and the only greater concentrations of such architectural gems in the United States today is in Lower Manhattan.
