During the late nineteenth- and early twentieth centuries the Foster-Redington House in Waterville, Maine was the home of two prominent men. The Queen Anne-style house was constructed by Moses C. Foster in 1883 as his own residence, and at the time was recognized as the first example of this architectural style in Waterville. Foster was a celebrated and prolific builder and contractor with important commissions for public buildings, churches and hotels throughout Maine and New Hampshire, as well as in Washington, D.C. and New Brunswick Canada. Frank Redington married Foster's daughter Carrie Mae in 1890. Within two years the couple had moved into Foster's house which they shared with him until just before his death in 1906. Redington was a prominent business man who served as the Mayor of Waterville and the president of the local Board of Trade, the latter a title that Foster also had held. During Redington's tenure at these positions several important civic improvements were undertaken, including the building of City Hall, a new high school, and an important railroad bridge. The Foster-Redington House is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as an excellent and locally-early example of a Queen Anne style house. The property also has state wide significance for its association with the contractor Moses C. Foster and local significance for its association with Frank Redington. The areas of significance are architecture and commerce. The period of significance commences when Foster built the house in 1883 and closes in 1923 upon the death of Redington.
