Many of the PCRT running tours are led by John Calvin Stevens III, the great-great-grandson, and namesake, of famous Portland architect, John Calvin Stevens. Part of what makes Port City Running Tours unique is John’s family’s involvement in shaping the history of Portland. The Stevens family has been designing landmarks, houses, and buildings in the greater Portland area for four generations. John Calvin Stevens, the best documented figure in Maine architectural history, practiced architecture in Portland from 1884-1940. During that period, he received more than 300 commissions to design or alter domestic, religious, commercial, government and industrial structures on the Portland peninsula. While best known for his graceful residences in the “shingle style,” John Calvin Stevens left a rich and varied architectural legacy throughout Portland and the state of Maine.
John Calvin Stevens III was born in raised in Portland’s West End neighborhood and spent his summers on Little Diamond Island. John lives in Portland with his wife, Melanie, their sons, Stratton and Charlie, and their dog, Seabass.
