    Brief Description

    For description see National Register application: http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NRHP/Text/83001274.pdf. The village known as Indian Hill or Gildersleeve developed in direct association with the shipbuilding industries that took place in this section of Portland during the 18th and 19th centuries. Much of the housing stock built in the area was erected and/or occupied by individuals connected with shipbuilding entities or efforts.
