Ross gave a wonderful, engaging and super fun tour. We walked through the streets and back roads of the West End discussing how the history of Portland created the wealth needed to build the Victorian mansions the West End is known for. We also got an in depth discussion of the famous architects and their contributions to the Portland sky line. Relaxing, interesting and an all around beautiful tour.
