Specialties: The Portland Club is organized to develop and promote activities for its membership, and
demonstrate a socially responsible role by serving as a creative and enterprising forum for social,
economic and political discourse in the context of good fellowship. To that end, The Portland
Club seeks to maintain and restore an historic landmark structure commonly known as
Hunneywell House located at 156 State Street in Portland to serve as a home for The Portland
Club with a respect for tradition and a commitment to the present. Established in 1886. The Portland Club is a social activities club that is welcoming to anyone who feels an abiding fondness for the city of Portland, values good times and good company, and shares our membership's dedication to the preservation of the historic property that is the home of the club: the Alexander Parris-designed 1805 Hunnewell-Shepley mansion, located at 156 State Street.
In 1886, Fred N. Dow and a group of influential male friends organized their informal gatherings into a club - The Portland Club.
The men's club's purpose was to "discuss current events," and, though never part of the official by-laws, to promote the Republican party agenda. Because Republicans controlled Maine's government, the club was widely recognized as the de facto seat of political power for decades.
The club purchased the Shepley-Hunnewell mansion at 156 State Street in 1920, and it has been the home of The Portland Club ever since.
