The Greek Revival house at 608 Main Street in Portland was built c. 1845. It was the home of Evelyn White, a ship captain (he is listed as captain and, with O. G. Terry, co-owner of the sloop Phoenix, built in 1839 at the Portland shipyard of S. Gildersleeve & Sons). He is probably the same Evelyn White who later served a term in the state legislature in 1880 and twelve terms as selectman. By the late 1920s the house was occupied by members of the Gildersleeve family.
