The Italianate style mansion located at One Walnut Street was constructed around 1850 by Captain Albert Kelsey, famed Lewiston architect and city planner. With over 8000 square feet of living space, the home is one of Maine's most elegant historic landmarks. In 1886, the mansion was purchased by Monsignor Thomas Wallace of the Roman Church, along with the city block located at the corner of Bates Street and Walnut Street, so that St. Patrick's Church could be built. The property was then used as the church rectory until October 2009, when the church closed. In 2014, the property was fully renovated while maintaining and accentuating its historical features, including 12-foot ceilings and intricate woodwork. It opened as the Inn at the Agora in 2015 and is today the highest rated hotel in Lewiston-Auburn and the closest to Bates College. The three-story mansion has twelve bedrooms and seven bathrooms, five of which are available to professionals, lovers, and weary travelers. INSTANTLY PROFITABLE! 2017 Capitalization rate of 16.5% based on sale price of 360K. The property can continue as a highly profitable inn or can be converted to office or private residential use.
