First McGillicuddy Block
133 Lisbon St., Lewiston, METhe building is architecturally significant as one of two surviving commercial structures by noted local architect, Jefferson Coburn. The other is the adjoining Osgood Block, erected two years earlier. Both are fine representations of Coburn's eclectic inclinations and his use of contrasting colors and building materials. Both buildings 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, and Lewiston mayor from 1887 to 1890.
Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
