Historic Lewiston : Franco-American Origins

Historic Lewiston : Franco-American Origins

The first book in a series on the history of Lewiston, Maine, Historic Lewiston, from the Lewiston Historical Commission. Historic Lewiston: Franco-American Origins is a 47-page overview of Lewiston’s Franco American past, divided into two parts. Part one focuses on the prevalence of social organizations, the plethora of Lewiston/Auburn Roman Catholic churches, and the work-a-day normalcy of nearly two centuries of French in Lewiston. Part two is a building survey, dedicated specifically to Franco-American architecture, giving one an artistic glimpse into the Lewiston buildings of old that have been retained only in part up to the present day. Contains a variety of photographs and other images.
