"The old Lewiston City Hall is a compact forty-two-by-eighty-five-foot commercial building with two shades of finish brick used on the street side. Two large bays are marked out on the facade by large corner pilasters and a narrower central pilaster, rendered in the rosy orange brick which is the prevailing material. The bays are spanned below the parapet by a small, stepped metal cornice, below which corbel tables comprised of stepped brick brackets in the contrasting color cross each bay. Small rectangular panels of the paler brick are recessed in the face of each pilaster at a level with the corbel table, immediately above a stepped and outset double string course which forms a sort of capital in the red brick surface. Each bay contains on the upper story a pair of double-hung sash windows, linked by common notch-sided or denticulated surrounds in pale brick. The windows rest in denticulated lintels, continuous within each bay, formed by a single^ string course and again in contrasting brick. Below the sill in each bay is a slightly recessed cross-bay panel of pale brick, framed as are all of these elements with the darker material." (visit link)
