On Thurs., February 12, 6:30pm - Earle Shettleworth and Paul Stevens will offer a fascinating presentation about John Calvin Stevens, one of Maine’s most influential architects who left a legacy through his distinctive Shingle Style and Colonial Revival designs that helped shape the character of coastal communities like Portland, South Portland, and Cape Elizabeth.
Our co-presenters will be: Earle Shettleworth, Maine’s State Historian and a lifelong advocate for historic preservation across the state, and Paul Stevens, a respected Maine architect with nearly 60 years of experience, known for continuing the legacy of his great-grandfather, John Calvin Stevens, through his work at SMRT, a firm founded by the elder Stevens in 1884. The lecture will be hosted by Craig Piper, an architect with SMRT and Vice President of South Portland Historical Society. Free for current Society members; admission for non-members is $20. Lecture will be held in the Casco Bay room of the South Portland Community Center, 21 Nelson Road.
**Our 2025-2026 lecture series is brought to you with the financial support of SMRT Architects and Engineers**
