Maine Supply Company Building

415--417 Lisbon St., Lewiston, ME

This building was constructed by the Maine Supply Co., a retailer of agricultural implements. On the ground floor was an automobile garage while in the rear of the second floor was a repair shop. The remainder of the upper floors were used for offices and to display products sold by the Maine Supply Co. Abundant decorative treatment imparted an aura of prestige and commercial success.

From 1919 to 1928 the building was occupied by Levasseur Pontiac Sales and Service. On June 20, 1929, John E. Carrigan Jr. conveyed a bond for the deed to Morency Motors. Morency advertised general repair work and automobile storage, with ground floor space for 200 vehicles. The building's historical significance centers on its design of an early automobile garage.
