Also see . . . The National Trust for Historic Preservation. Built in 1922 by Portland industrialist, J.N. Barde, the impressive Georgian Revival building was designed by Rasmussen Grace Co. to house the Portland Evening Telegram newspaper. The newspaper occupied the landmark building until the paper closed in the early 1930s. The building remained frozen in time attracting few tenants due to its deteriorating condition. Telegram was placed on the National Historic Register in the early 1990s. It was purchased by the Nathan Family in 1993 and plans for rehabilitation began. (Submitted on June 19, 2012.)
