68 High Street
68 High Street, formerly the Children's Hospital,〔(Criterion A: Health/Medicine, Social History Criterion B: Dr. Edville Gerhardt Abbott (1871-1938) Criterion C: Architecture Statewide Significance )〕 is an historic colonial revival building in Portland, Maine. Located on the eastern edge of Portland's West End, the building was built in 1909 and was designed by architect Frederick A. Tompson. According to news archives, Drs. Edville Gerhardt Abbott and Harold A. Pingree and Frank W. Lamb founded this worldwide famous children's hospital for crippled children with scoliosis together in 1908.〔(CRIPPLES MADE STRAIGHT BY MARVELOUS SURGERY; Medical Men From Far and Wide Flock to Portland, Maine to Witness the Wonderful Work of Dr. E.G. Abbott in Curing Fixed Lateral Curvature of the Spine Which Heretofore Has Baffled Surgical Skill.

In 2011, the Maine State Housing Authority approved the building and the adjacent empty lot, 68 High Street, for 38 low income housing units. The building is set to be renovated to fulfill the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, including the addition of elevators. The first floor of 66 High Street will include parking units. The plan to redevelop the property became controversial after state treasurer Bruce Poliquin criticized the housing authority for their per-unit cost.
