1 Pleasant St is located in Portland, ME.

1 Pleasant Street is located in Gorham’s Corner at the intersection of Danforth, Pleasant, York and Center Streets. A monument to movie director and native son, John Ford, was dedicated in 1998 (as seen in building photos). The neighborhood is sometimes referred to as the Studio District due to its restaurants, art studios, commercial office and light industrial businesses.

Between the historic Old Port District and Portland’s West End, Gorham’s Corner was historically populated by Irish immigrants. The Federal-style How Houses, designed by Joseph and Daniel How in 1799 and 1818, are across the intersection from the subject property on Danforth Street. 1 Pleasant Street is also known as the Cinamon Building.
