A 72-unit, mixed-income housing development is proposed for a 79,000-square-foot building that’s part of the larger 560,000-square-foot Continental Mill complex. The TIF would help the developer cover a $1 million funding gap in the $16.8 million proposal.
Let’s start with the axes.
First up: Splittin’ Wood Axe Throwing is coming to the Lewiston Mall.
Christopher and Julie Nichols are opening in the former Olympia Sports space later this summer, offering six lanes of targets, plus pizza.
The city council also approved a liquor license last month. The couple has set a two-beer maximum while throwing.
“It seems like (the mall) is coming back,” said Christopher Nichols on Thursday. “Driving for FedEx, I’ve seen all the vacant areas and … this is the one spot that I saw that had the measurements that I need.”
Single lanes are sized for one or two throwers, double-lanes for larger parties.

LEWISTON The Historic Preservation Review Board on Thursday afternoon unanimously approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for a potential new development at the Continental Mill: Picker House Lofts.
Szanton Monks Properties is behind the 72-unit mixed income housing project at 2 Cedar St. and has a purchase and sale agreement in place with Chinburg Properties for 76,500-square feet of the massive mill, according to board filings.
“Our business model is to wait until we are ready to start construction to close on a piece of property,” Szanton’s Amy Cullen said Thursday.
