Petit Ellis
Grand Trunk Depot
Lincoln Street, Lewiston
Spring 2013




Originally constructed in 1874 at the end of a 5-mile spur, the Grand Trunk Depot had fallen into decay after four decades of abandonment. It was known to locals as Little Ellis Island for the huge number of French-Canadian immigrants that came to the promise of America through its doors. Between 1840 and 1930 almost 1 million Quebecois nationals migrated to the United States in search of work. The Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada played a huge role in shifting the populace south and eventually west. Over 80% of the French-Canadians who settled in the twin cities came through the Grand Trunk. It is seldom that a cultural identity can be traced back to a single building. A single humble brick building that ties together the identities of an entire urban area.

Higgins Beach, Down East

March is here. And with it, late winter Atlantic storms. Swells. Depressions. Waves. True to form. Breaking hard. March is here. The best month for surf in southern Maine.
