Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary

Also known as Holt Hall, the structure, designed by John Calvin Stevens, was redeveloped into a residential building in 1997, after standing dormant for nearly 10 years.

It is a brick building, six stories tall, with stone trim and a dormered hip roof, and a three-story ell extending to the south.

Its ground floor functionally appears as a raised basement, finished in quarry-cut stone.

[3] The Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary was founded in 1886 by Dr. Erastus Eugene Holt, and was one of the first institutions of its type in the nation.

This building was built for the infirmary in 1891 to a design by noted Portland architect John Calvin Stevens, and is an important transitional work of his, moving from the earlier Queen Anne and Romanesque styles toward the Colonial Revival.
