We had many correct answers for last week’s Mystery Photo of the former Sun Journal office building at the corner of Park and Pine streets in Lewiston. The building was initially constructed as a bank and also housed the chamber of commerce. The building was built on the footprint of the iconic DeWitt Hotel. It was a top-of-the-line hotel, built in 1854 and demolished in 1965. The concrete building has been vacant since the Sun Journal moved out and is scheduled to be demolished this month to make room for the new 104-unit DeWitt housing development. In a random drawing from all correct entries, Bruce Haley of Minot was chosen as the winner of a $25 Hannaford Supermarket gift card.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
