Crews from Chabot’s Construction Co. collect what is left of the Avon Mill at Locust and Lincoln streets in Lewiston on Friday. The demolition began about three weeks ago, and the walls came down Wednesday, employee Daryl Pratt said. The cleared land will accommodate a $450,000 project to widen the end of Locust Street onto Lincoln so trucks can turn more easily. “This is wonderful. I cannot believe that I have a view,” Diane Meservier, who lives across the street on Locust, said. “It was so dark in here with that tall building.” A lot of the materials will be reclaimed, Pratt said. Bricks will be cleaned and sold, and the large pieces of lumber will go to Spain to be used in old castle restoration.
