Criterion C: Architecture. Local Significance.
The Lisbon Falls High School is a notable example of Romanesque Revival architecture, located in the relatively small industrial town of Lisbon, Maine. The brick school, with finial topped tower, arched windows and doors, and terra cotta and granite accents, was the work of William R. Miller, a prolific Maine architect known for designing lavishly detailed public buildings. Opened in the spring of 1906, this school served the students of Lisbon Falls until 1952. The Lisbon Falls High School was listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance as a good example of Romanesque Revival architecture in the local context, and as a representative example of the schools designed by Miller in the early twentieth-century.
Comment: I just read the article on the old Lisbon Falls High School. It said, "Opened in the spring of 1906, this school served the students of Lisbon Falls until 1952." That is a little inaccurate. It may have served as a High School until 1952 but I attended school there as a forth and fifth grade student in the early 80's and my younger siblings went there as well.
