An Evening of Historic Interior Design at the Woodfords Club

  • Woodfords Club 179 Woodford Street Portland, ME, 04103 United States (map)

Join Greater Portland Landmarks and the Woodfords Club for an evening of historic Craftsman interiors!

Monday, September 19 from 4:00-6:00pm, Historic Interior Design expert Karen L. Hovde will lead guests through the Woodfords Club, sharing insight on design as the Woodfords Club moves forward with their own restoration projects. 

A great opportunity to see one of Portland’s great social clubs, largely unchanged since its construction in 1913, as well as a chance to pick the brain of an interior design expert. Bring photos of your own home to get advice on interior and exterior color schemes, furniture styles and more! This will be a casual event, with plenty of Q&A opportunities throughout.

And if two hours isn’t enough, you can head down to the bar at Woodford F&B to grab a drink and keep chatting with Karen. 

This event is free of charge, but donations are appreciated and will be split between Greater Portland Landmarks and the Woodfords Club. Please RSVP here.
