Normally at this point I would be giving out information about the building, but on this occasion I know absolutely nothing about it. Except it appears to have been built in 1920 . It was on a corner near our hotel in downtown Portland Maine so we walked past it frequently . On one level its a fairly ordinary building but for some reason or another it kept catching my eye
