Standalone: naming 173 Main St. the Powell Building. Announcement of the naming of the Powell Building in downtown Waterville. Colby President David Greene will speak and Alfond Foundation president Greg Powell. This is from Colby: The Kirk & Greg Powell Building at 173 Main St. in Waterville, Maine is dedicated in honor of Kershaw “Kirk” Elias Powell and Gregory W. Powell, a father and son whose commitment to Waterville spanned generations. Kirk grew up in Waterville and graduated as the valedictorian of his high school class in 1947. He attended Colby College between 1947 and 1949 and then Tufts Dental School, from which he graduated in 1953. Following a tenure in the United States Navy in the Dental Corps, Kirk returned to Waterville, where he raised his family and practiced dentistry for 44 years. As his practice grew, Kirk became a leader in the community, serving on the Waterville School Board, the Waterville YMCA Board, and the Colby College Board of Trustees. In the 1980s, he was awarded an honorary bachelor and masters degree from Colby. He passed away at age 85 in 2014. Following a career in law, Greg Powell became chair of the Harold Alfond Foundation, supporting organizations in Waterville and across Maine and building the Foundation’s reputation as the state’s preeminent philanthropic organization. Under Greg’s leadership, the Foundation made significant contributions to the redevelopment of downtown Waterville. While growing up in Waterville, Greg had personally known Harold Alfond as a generous supporter of the central Maine area. Following a career in law, in 1996 he joined the Harold Alfond Foundation, providing millions of dollars in financial support to organizations across Maine and building the Foundation’s reputation as the state’s preeminent philanthropic organization. Greg succeeded Mr. Alfond as chairman of the Foundation in 2008. Under Greg’s leadership, the Foundation made significant contributions to the redevelopment of downtown Waterville, restoring luster to the Alfonds’ and Powells’ hometown and ensuring that the next generation of residents have access to a vibrant city. Kirk Powell and Greg Powell’s longtime dedication to strengthening Waterville continues to inspire its residents and celebrates the spirit of this community. The Kirk & Greg Powell Building at 173 Main Street in Waterville, Maine was designed by Maine-born architect William H. Butterfield. It opened in 1904 as the home of Waterville Savings Bank. In this building in April 1931, the decision was made to keep Colby College in Waterville—a decision that had rested on community members raising $100,000 to purchase Mayflower Hill. The restoration of The Kirk & Greg Powell Building serves as a reminder of Waterville’s proud past and promising future.
