First Portland HoteL
As far as I can learn tha first hotel
of any Importance to be built la Port
land was tha Canton houee, , built in
1849 or 1889, and which Is atlll standlnr
a monument to tha past. In thoaa days
waa on tha corner of Waahlnston and
ront street and waa kept by General
fctephan Coffin. Later tha name was
changed to the Lincoln bouse and It
waa knt by a Mr. Velder. Still later It
waa called tha American axchanse and
wag under tha management of 8. N.
ArrigonL who waa succeeded by I P. W.

that tha Klrat Presbyterian church of

Another event of Importance which took
place at thla famona old hoetelry was
the banquet given there In honor of tha
