PER GLAPN WEBSITE: Since demolished. Named after an English evangelist, this is the place where, in early 1912, English military hero and founder of the Boy Scouts Robert Baden-Powell spoke during his disastrous visit to Portland. Baden-Powell, who was gay, was accompanied by an entourage of young men, received a hostile homophobic reception in Portland from large jeering crowds, and later that year was outed formally by the Portland News. The crowds shouted “ribald” phrases and held “ribald” signs ridiculing Baden-Powell’s comments about scouting. In the summer of 1912, back in England following his visit to Portland, he married for the first time at age 55.
