One of Lewiston’s largest and oldest law firms — Skelton Taintor & Abbott — has purchased a Lisbon Street building to become its headquarters.
The purchase was announced by commercial real estate firm CORE, which brokered the $1.2 million deal.
The law firm purchased the 18,000 square feet of Class A office space at 491 Lisbon St., which will become the firm’s primary office after a renovation is completed.
The law firm currently leases the top two floors of an adjacent building at 500 Canal St., the former Northeast Bank headquarters building, which it moved into in 2021.
