Portland Press Herald Glass Negative Collection

In this photograph looking southwest, major components include the open-spaced Eastern Promenade across the foreground, as well as the working waterfront and railroad, which extended from the Eastern Prom to beyond the "Million Dollar Bridge" in the background. Congress Street, the major thoroughfare on the right, dissected the city.

While Portland was an obvious focal point for Gannett’s newspapers, the aerial photographs within the collection highlight numerous towns and cities across Maine.
