Portland Museum of Art

After a months-long debate, the Portland City Council decided that the museum’s neighboring building is no longer historically significant. The art museum owns the building at 142 Free Street and wants to demolish it to make room for an expansion.

Museum officials say the plan would require demolishing the former's Children's Museum next door. But preservation advocates say the structure at 142 Free Street has historic significance and must be protected.

Two city boards had recommended that Portland keep a historic designation for the former Children's Museum on Free Street. The Portland Museum of Art owns the building and wants to demolish it to make room for a proposed expansion.

The museum said its financial challenges began during the pandemic.
