Description

The Portland Camera Club was given access to photograph some of the facilities of The Portland Company through a contact of one of our club members with the owners of this company. The facilities are being vacated shortly and eventually new construction will take place. The several buildings, some of which are quite old, are located on the Portland harbor. This photo is an HDR taken on the second floor of Building 1. It is my conception of what an old industrial facility should look like with a nice wooden floor and lots of angular supports. Not sure if these are considered trusses. the walls are brick as many of the old factories are in New England.

The Portland Company is a nine acre industrial site with a commanding location on the eastern end of the waterfront. It was established in 1846 as a locomotive foundry to build railroad equipment for the connection between Portland and Montreal. It was a significant New England medium to heavy steel fabricator until 1978. It had a proud history of serving New England manufacturer's and utilities while building 628 locomotives 160 ships (including Iron Clads), equipment for the Panama Canal and so on. Presently the site has become a marine oriented complex with a small marina, several marine as well as other office tenants and an operating Maine two-foot narrow gauge railroad museum.
