Catholic Archbishop Blanchet originally lived in this house, which was built in 1879. The Gothic Revival-style building had divine beginnings but through the years it was also the location of a speakeasy, architectural studio, a sign company and is currently the home for the Al-Amir Lebanese Restaurant. This ornate structure has been well preserved and boasts eight arched windows framed with elaborately carved moldings. The light brown exterior and red trim blend in well with the other historic buildings in this part of downtown area and is a sound example of Portland's historic past.

Visited the restaurant on the ground floor. Wonderful menu and drinks. Excellent waitstaff. Belly dancing. Features classics like lamb kabobs and tabouli, and hosts belly dancing performances on Friday and Saturday nights.
MoreI saw a single building at the address that had a Lebanese restaurant and offices. The picture is of a hotel not a private residence for the bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese. It is privately owned and constructed in Gothic style. The building had a library, the Archbishop's living quarters. Bishop's House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
MoreThere were no historical informations signs and it was kind of boring. Its a police bureau now. Couldhave skipped it happily
