Charles Quincy Goodhue (1835-1910) spent the last 20 years of his life sketching Portland as it had looked before the fire of 1866. This is a drawing of the northern and eastern slopes of Munjoy Hill as it appeared in the 1840s when it was mostly open pasture, except for the Portland Observatory, built in 1807.
