The Samuel Butts House (also known as the Samuel Butts House and Store; formerly known as the Mariner's House)[1][2] is a historic colonial-style building in Portland, Maine, United States. Located in Boothby Square, on Fore Street, the building was completed in 1792,[3] when Fore Street was at the shoreline of the Fore River estuary. It is the second-oldest extant building on the Portland peninsula, after the Wadsworth-Longfellow House,[4] which pre-dates it by around six years.[5] It is believed its third storey was added well after the building was completed.
Samuel Butts (1760–1838) was a tailor who moved to Portland from Boston in 1784.[6]
History
[edit | edit source]The building survived the Portland fire of 1866.[1]
A 22-room hotel occupied the building in the first half of the 20th century.[7]
From 1974 to 1981 The Hollow Reed restaurant occupied the storefront.[8]
