Description
Named for Col. John Goddard of Bangor (1811-1870), a Maine timber trader, this reliably photogenic, formerly magnificent, ocean-side Italianate-style mansion in the northeastern corner of Fort Williams Park was completed in 1857. The Goddard family lived in it during the late 1800s. Only its native stone masonry walls and crumbling chimney brick works remain. The fenced-off ruins stand on a hill overlooking Casco Bay and the nearby Portland Head Light

I agree! It's a wonderful place to visit, and off to the right is the ocean! They've done a lot of work to the area, fixing up the walkway and replacing with new. new plants. I can't wait to visit in the spring to see what it looks like finished!
