The Lisbon District in downtown Lewiston, Maine, is a typical American 19th-century commercial corridor of masonry buildings built tight to their lot lines, with their heights shifting from one to six stories creating undulating facades. The district includes many individually listed National Register buildings as well as the Lower Lisbon Street Historic District. At its core lies the Lewiston Commercial Historic District, an NRHP area of more than eighty historic structures spread across roughly fifteen acres. Together, these blocks along Lisbon Street form the city's traditional center, reflecting the layered commercial growth of an industrial Maine city shaped by the Androscoggin River and its mill economy. - AsNotedIn
