John Calvin Stevens House is an historic house in the West End neighborhood of Portland, Maine. Built in 1884, it was the home of architect John Calvin Stevens and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[2]
Stevens and his architectural partner, Albert Winslow Cobb, included illustrations of the house in their Shingle Style survey, Examples of American Domestic Architecture (1889).
The house has been altered, with the main entrance moved from the west facade (facing Bowdoin Street) to the center of the south facade. The original entrance porch has been enclosed, and the balustrade above it removed. The house's shingles were recently painted white.
