Celebrate the Season with your Local Landmarks! Like many historic house museums across the country, the Victoria Mansion in Portland, Maine, is decorated for the holiday season each year. An annual theme is chosen, and local designers, florists, and businesses each interpret the theme in a different room.
Victoria Mansion was designed by Henry Austin and built for hotelier Ruggles Sylvester Morse and his wife, Olive. Distinguished for its architecture and extraordinary original interiors, it is among the nation’s most important historic homes of the 19th century. This image by Melanie Socha shows the mansion’s dining room decorated by Dodge the Florist.
Museum houses decorated for the season are very popular and are often a major annual fundraiser for the organizations that own and operate these local landmarks. Support preservation in your community and visit your local landmarks during the holiday season!
