*Throwback to that time I didn’t buy this bracket that sat in the window of a friendly neighborhood shop. I don’t need to own one, but I wouldn’t mind.*

I’ve posted a Portland, Maine bracketed hood here every day for the past few years (Since 2012, I’ve posted over 800!), but I am running out of new specimens. I’ve visited every street on the peninsula within the boundaries of St. John Street to Park Street to Marginal Way to the Eastern Promenade to Fore Street to Commercial Street and back to St. John Street.

There will likely be more posts (I know I’ve missed a few), but it will be sporadic. Meanwhile, I’ll take the data and the photos I’ve amassed and organize them into a searchable database.

Thanks for checking out Brackets and Hoods of Portland, Maine! I wish I could start reposting every one on a loop forever.

This house has a plaque on the side of the door that says, “Bayside, John W. Libby House, Edge Toolmaker, Circa 1852, Greek Revival.”
