135 Brackett St
West End | Portland Maine

The West End of the Portland peninsula is primarily on Bramhall Hill and is noted for its grand architecture and rich history. The neighborhood is home to a large number of historic homes and parks and, in 2010, it was called "one of the best preserved Victorian neighborhoods in the country".

Reiche Community School, a public school located on Brackett Street, serves the West End's K-5 school-age students.  It also houses a branch library, swimming pool, and community center.  Waynflete School, a highly regarded private school, is also nearby, as well as Learning Works.

Mercy Hospital was established in 1918 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland and the Sisters of Mercy. Maine Medical Center, Maine's largest hospital and Portland's largest employer, is located on the Western Promenade. It was founded in 1874.

Five city parks are located in the neighborhood, including Clark Street Park, Harbor View Park, Tate-Tyng Playground and McIntyre Park, and the Western Promenade with a view of the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
