Facility
The Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts & History is located in the heart of historic downtown Lewiston, Idaho, at 415 Main Street. Built in 1884 as the Vollmer Great Bargain Store, this 12,000-square-foot space is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The First National Bank of Lewiston occupied the facility from 1904-1946, when it was sold to First Security Bank, which continued operations until 1989. In March 1991, First Security Bank of Idaho donated the building to the Lewis-Clark State College Foundation for use as a center for arts and culture.
Museum Affiliations
The LC State Center for Arts & History is an institutional member of both the American Alliance of Museums and the Association of Academic Museums and Galleries.
