68 High Street, formerly the Children's Hospital,[2] is a historic colonial revival building in Portland, Maine. Located on the eastern edge of Portland's West End, the building was built in 1909 and was designed by architect Frederick A. Tompson. According to news archives, Drs. Edville Gerhardt Abbott and Harold A. Pingree and Frank W. Lamb founded this worldwide famous children's hospital for disabled children with scoliosis together in 1908.
[3] It closed in 1948, with most of the 56 patients at the time being transferred to Maine General Hospital, which was later renamed the Maine Medical Center.[4] It also served as an annex to the Mussey Mansion until the left part of that building was demolished in 1961.[5] It was also owned by the University of Maine system. It housed the University of Maine School of Law from 1962? until 1972, after which was used by the University of Southern Maine as administrative offices.
In 2010, Community Housing of Maine sought to develop the property and the adjacent empty lot into 35 units of affordable housing.[5] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places March 7, 2012.[1]
The Portland Children's Hospital is known for both, its engineering and its commitment to the wellbeing of children. Edville G. Abbott, M.D., as Surgeon in Chief of the Children's Hospital, fostered the "Abbott Treatment" for adjusting bend of the spine in children experiencing scoliosis in 1911. The Abbott Treatment was viewed as the norm of care for quite some time and keeps on being referred to in clinical diaries.
