Property Highlights

The Site is currently unoccupied and is situated in an industrial/urban area in the City of Lewiston. The Site consists of just the Picker House portion of the overall former Continental Mill Complex and is surrounded by other mill buildings to the east and north, storage buildings to the west, and an office and additional storage buildings to the south.

According to historic resources provided to Ransom, the Site reportedly consisted of undeveloped land until 1866, when construction of the Continental Mill Complex began. Construction of the mill complex, including the Picker House, was completed by 1868. The Site and surrounding mill complex were used for cotton mill operations until the mid-1960's. Between the mid-1960's and circa 2017, the Site and surrounding mill complex supported a variety of commercial operations, including stamp production within the basement and a fitness facility within the northern portion of the Site building, respectively. Environmental investigations including Phase I and Phase II ESAs and an Underground Storage Tank (UST) Site Assessment were conducted by others at the mill complex between 2007 and 2020.

The Picker House is a 5-story, masonry, former cotton mill building with a basement. The basement is comprised of concrete floors and was formerly used for manufacturing and office/storage purposes. In addition, the northeastern portion of the basement was formerly used as a boiler room. Empty coal furnaces, chutes, and associated equipment currently remain in the boiler room. The first floor and upper stories of the Site building consist of hardwood floors and were primarily used for production/manufacturing purposes. A single-story addition is located along the northern portion of the Site building. This addition was presumably used for a combination of production, storage, and commercial purposes, and was last occupied by a cross-fitness gym.
