Period of Significance1890 - 1930
![Page 8: Fort Allen Park HPB Presentation 2.15.12](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052909/559727341a28ab140e8b47f7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The City purchased land from Henry Deering, Harry Fessenden and Francis Fessenden in 1890
In 1891, Goodwin prepared the first site plan for Fort Allen Park.
In 1904, Portland Mayor James Baxter negotiated with the Grand Trunk Railway to acquire additional parkland on the north side.
In 1911, the City purchased the “Cummings Lot” on the south side, bringing the total Fort Allen Park acreage to 4.55
![Page 9: Fort Allen Park HPB Presentation 2.15.12](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052909/559727341a28ab140e8b47f7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Between 1890 and 1896, the City added several other amenities, including walkways, a loop drive, two overlook terraces, a flagpole, many benches, and pole lighting. The original earthen fort berms remained.
![Page 10: Fort Allen Park HPB Presentation 2.15.12](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052909/559727341a28ab140e8b47f7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cobblestone gutters (added in 1894) and plantings of flowering shrubs (added in 1897) further ornamented the park.
![Page 11: Fort Allen Park HPB Presentation 2.15.12](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052909/559727341a28ab140e8b47f7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tall elm trees stood along the Eastern Promenade, providing a strong outer edge to the park. Plantings within were kept low to preserve the
views.
![Page 12: Fort Allen Park HPB Presentation 2.15.12](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052909/559727341a28ab140e8b47f7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The City began to erect wrought iron fencing at the upper and lower terraces in 1896. Lower terrace fencing appeared in 1896, and upper
terrace fencing followed in 1900. Plans to connect the two terraces via a set of broad central steps were in the works as early as 1896.

Rodman cannons, used in the Civil War, were acquired for the park in 1900. (Note the houses standing along the park’s northern property line)

In 1913-1915, the gun from the battleship USS Maine was brought to Fort Allen Park and mounted in a concrete base. This effort launched a long
tradition of siting memorials within the park landscape.

The Grand Army of the Republic placed a memorial bench in the park in1926. (Note the small-scale beds of flowers and shrubs throughout.)
