Among the great homes of late 18th century Portland were those of Richard Savage, the controller of Customs; and Deacon Richard Codman, a leading merchant.

Savage's home was built about 1763, but its owner, a British official, was mobbed in 1771 and driven out of town.

Codman's residence was built in 1762.
