Lewiston Mills and Water Power System Historic District
Lewiston Mills and Water Power System Historic District, Industrial heritage district in Lewiston, United States
The district contains extensive textile mill complexes and water power systems along the Androscoggin River, featuring brick manufacturing buildings and canal networks.
Established in 1850, the Lewiston Water Power Company constructed power canals and cotton mills, creating the largest textile manufacturing center in Maine.
The mills attracted numerous French Canadian workers who arrived through the Grand Trunk Station, forming substantial immigrant communities in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The district extends from the great falls to Gully Brook, incorporating multiple manufacturing structures including the Bates Mill, Lewiston Mill, and Continental Mill.
The site represents the implementation of the Lowell system of cotton textile manufacturing, with preserved industrial infrastructure spanning over 100 years of development.
