Vaughn A. West Farm
1056-1088 Washington Avenue
Vaughn A. West's farm on Washington Avenue is a good example of agricultural Portland, which had flourished since the colonial era.
Housing replaced most agriculture on the peninsula, but farms continued in Deering, annexed in 1899-1900, and on the Casco Bay islands.
As late as 1935, Portland boasted 82 farms and 2,522 acres of agricultural land, worth $592,308.
