Michael Connor builds a brick platform Wednesday along Pine Street in downtown Lewiston. The 81-year-old has been building benches and tables for over 15 years and will use the platform to display his work. The bricks are from an old chimney. John Hanscome, left, brings bricks to Connor as needed. “I’m around, so I do what I can to help out,” Hanscome said. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
