Printers' Exchange Block

The Printers' Exchange Block is a historic commercial building located in the vibrant Old Port district of Portland, Maine. Designed by architect Charles Q. Clapp and constructed in 1866, this notable structure was built in response to the devastating fire that year. Originally serving as the hub for local newspapers like the Eastern Argus and the Portland Daily Press, the building has a rich history tied to the city's development. Its unique architectural design wraps around the intersection of Exchange, Federal, and Market Streets, making it a prominent landmark. Today, it stands as a testament to Portland's resilience and offers visitors a glimpse into the city's past.
