Healey Asylum, Former Catholic orphanage in Lewiston, Maine.
The Second Empire brick building at 81 Ash Street features a mansard roof, granite trim elements, and two extending wings forming an H-shaped layout.
Built in 1893 under Bishop James Augustine Healy's direction, the orphanage operated by Grey Nuns from Quebec provided care for local boys until 1973.
The building reflects the influence of French-Canadian religious institutions in New England through its architectural design and original social mission.
The structure now serves as Healy Terrace, offering affordable housing units for senior residents in downtown Lewiston's residential district.
The building's entrance includes a wooden portico with bracketed cornice and gabled dormers that demonstrate nineteenth-century institutional architecture.
