McGillicuddy Block: 133 Lisbon

The building is architecturally significant as one of the two surviving commercial structures by noted local architect, Jefferson Coburn. This block as well as the Osgood Block, both constructed by Coburn, are similar in spirit to the firm’s Healey Asylum and Lord House, both listed in the National Register. With its locally unusual corner tower and brick and metal ornamentation, this building is an important surviving example of late Victorian architecture. The building was constructed by Daniel McGillicuddy, a prominent local lawyer who served as a state legislator in 1884 and 1885, the Lewiston mayor from 1887 to 1890, and was even a member of Congress.
