Greater Portland Landmarks operates in the architecture and planning field with a focus on identifying, preserving, and revitalizing historic places across greater Portland, including buildings, neighborhoods, landscapes, and parks. As a local preservation nonprofit, it seeks to empower residents and stakeholders to effect change and argues that preserving and reusing historic places can advance sustainability, enrich daily life, and foster inclusive community ties. The organization shares preservation knowledge, conducts research, provides resources, and offers educational experiences to illuminate the region's historic stories.

Based in Portland, Maine, the group is a small organization that engages in stewardship, advocacy, and public-interest work around preservation. It manages the Portland Observatory for the city, a structure dating to 1807 that is recognized as the last known maritime signal tower in the United States. In June 2024, it filed a civil complaint against the City of Portland alleging that the reclassification of a building within the Congress Street Historic District was illegal.
