About
Capt. James Means (1753-1832) built his home on a triangle of land across the street from the home of Capt. George Tate (1700-1794) and overlooking the site of the mast yard in Portland. Means House remained a private residence until 1996 when the Maine Society purchased Means House to celebrate its Centennial and to be a support arm for the Society as well as for general operations of the Tate House Museum including a gift shop. Today, Means House is available for rental by community groups, businesses or individuals.Directions
