George Fletcher West (August 20, 1862-1943) was an American business magnate. Born in Somerville, Massachusetts, West attended Harvard University before settling in Portland, Maine.
West commissioned architect Frederick A. Tompson to build his Georgian Revival mansion on the Western Promenade. It cost $100,000, a shocking amount for the period.[1]
