Founded in 1815, it has since 1859 been headquartered at Mechanics Hall, 519 Congress Street, in the center of Portland. == Founding == The MCMA was founded in 1815 as a way for local tradesmen to pool their resources, better their educations, and improve the quality of their work. Like many similar organizations that emerged in this period, the association aimed to help workers make the transition from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy. The association sponsored educations for apprentices who worked as carpenters, masons, shipbuilders, jewelers, ironworkers, watchmakers, riggers, instrument makers, glassworkers and more. The association's charter also declared that money would be set aside for "relieving the distress of unfortunate mechanics and their families."
