The Agora Grand Event Center is a large event venue in Lewiston, Maine and is also the second tallest building in the state. The Agora Grand was created by renovating the former St. Patrick's Church, a Roman Catholic church whose cornerstone was laid on 24 July 1887 by the Right Reverend Bishop Healy and last Mass was held in October, 2009. At 220 feet to its taller spire, it is the tallest building in Maine, based on the definition of "height to architectural top" by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. It was purchased in March, 2014, by developer Andrew Knight, who opened the Agora Grand in May, 2016. Knight's wedding was the first at the venue and he received an award from the Lewiston Historic Preservation Board for his work in reviving the building.
