Lewiston Trust and Safe Deposit Company
a.k.a. Grants Clothing
46 Lisbon St., Lewiston, METhe building is architecturally significant as the finest surviving substantially unaltered example of commercial design by the important firm of Coombs, Gibbs & Wilkinson. These Lewiston architects had a huge practice in western Maine and Harry Wilkinson was the most creative of George Coombs' many partners. His association with Coombs and Gibbs lasted from 1894-1899. With its distinctive fenestration and granite facing, the building provides a strong visual presence on Lisbon Street.
The Lewiston Trust Company occupied this structure from its construction in 1898 until 1921 when they moved to a larger building. W. Grant bought the former bank for a clothing store in 1926 and remodeled the front. Grant's went out of business in 1985.
