Portland's West End was once home to a group of impressive mansions. According to pmwht.org,  this large mansion was a wedding gift from a father to his daughter in the early 1900's, and since its construction has served many purposes through its more than 100 years of existence. At one point in time, it was the large-scale home for Mary Cate Thomas, her husband William, their seven children, and group of servants including a live-in nanny.
