Deacon John Bailey House is a residential building in Portland, Maine, United States. The home, which is located at 1235 Congress Street, was built between 1730 and 1756, when the city was part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Greater Portland Landmarks, a preservation group, calls it "one of the most important Pre-Revolutionary War-era houses in the city." It is believed that the bricks for the home's floor and hearth were fired on-site. Originally a one-storey property, a second level was added by John Bailey's son, Benjamin, in 1807. In 1899, the property's location, on the northern side of Congress Street (then at number 1175), was given as being "between Libby's Corner and Bradley's Corner." It was occupied at the time by Helen M. Bailey, great-granddaughter of John and sister of previous owner, Captain Francis H. Bailey. After John's death, the home passed to son Benjamin, then to grandson Jeremiah. It is one of the few buildings to have survived the 1775 burning of Falmouth and the great fire of 1866. The Historic American Building Survey surveyed the building in 1936. As of 2024, the property is owned by Heller Washam Antiques.

Libbytown is a neighborhood in Portland, Maine, United States. One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, it is located between the Stroudwater, Rosemont, Oakdale, and Parkside neighborhoods, and is separated from the city of South Portland by the Fore River. It extends to the intersection of Stevens Avenue and Congress Street. It was originally settled by Irish Catholic immigrants. Described as cohesive, it began to decline following the 1961 demolition of Union Station on St. John Street. Around the same time, the neighborhood was divided by the construction of Interstate 295 and the cloverleaf interchange which comprise exit 5. A long-standing Denny's restaurant occupied an area formerly known as Libby's Corner, between Park Avenue to the north and Congress Street to the south. It closed in 2022, and was purchased by the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT). It was demolished in March 2024. MaineDOT plans to construct a roundabout in an attempt to reconnect the neighborhood over sixty years after the division. Park Avenue and Congress Street would return to being two-way streets. The project was given a $22.4 million federal grant as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods Program. Maine's busiest public transit hub, the Portland Transportation Center, is in Libbytown. Tony's Donuts, a donut shop on Bolton Street, was established in the neighborhood in 1965.
