Blind Tiger Portland occupies an 1823 Federal-style mansion in Portland's West End — a building with a history as layered as the city itself. Built by Joseph Holt Ingraham and expanded over the following decades, the property served as a private school, a rectory, and, during Prohibition, an illicit gathering spot that locals quietly called "Social Corners." A thorough 2020 renovation preserved original architectural details — the rooftop cupola, the ornate fireplaces, the basement billiards room — while reimagining the mansion as a boutique inn and social gathering space. For private events, the property offers a collection of named gathering rooms accommodating groups from 10 to 35 guests. The Barroom, the Dining Room, the Living Room, the Sun Porch, and the Billiards Room can each be reserved individually; the Living Room and Dining Room can be combined for larger parties. The venue works with a preferred list of outside caterers and provides a commercial kitchen on-site. It is well suited to intimate weddings, elopement ceremonies, milestone celebrations, and corporate retreats.

The Portland Club occupies the historic Shepley-Hunnewell mansion at 156 State Street in Portland, Maine — a late 19th-century landmark the club has called home since 1920.

The club also hosts corporate events, galas, anniversaries, and gatherings benefiting nonprofit organizations.
