Mariner's Church (also known as the Old Port Tavern and Mariner’s Church Banquet Center) is a historic church building at 368-374 Fore Street in Portland, Maine.
The Greek Revival building was constructed in 1828 and was used for "moral and religious" instruction of local mariners. In 1866 a city-wide fire damaged much of the building, and in 1969 the building was purchased by C.H. Robinson who saved it from demolition. In 1973 the building opened as a restaurant known as the Old Port Tavern, and the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places that same year. Today the building is used for events as the Mariner’s Church Banquet Center and also contains a billiards hall.[2]
