History…From the Collections of the Maine Historical Society:
Construction plans for Portland’s newest high-rise hotel were announced in 1925. The hotel was conceived and built by Portland’s visionary hotelier, Henry P. Rines, who also owned and operated the Congress Square Hotel. The new hotel, which cost $2 million, was connected to the Congress Square Hotel, forming the largest hotel north of New York.
The Hotel was designed by local architect Herbert Rhodes and included 241 guest rooms and apartments. Construction of the twelve-story hotel was completed in 15 months and featured a brick, limestone and plaster exterior with steel casement windows.
A name-the-new-hotel contest was held, with $100 in gold awarded to Portland resident C.E. Weeks for his entry, The Eastland.
