Gardner (also spelled Gardiner) manufactured beer at 4 Main Street in Waterville. His operation ran from 1879 until 1883, at which point he discontinued his brewing venture in favor of becoming a confectionary and cigar dealer at the same address; or, perhaps, he foregrounded these aspects of his business over the brewing. By 1887, he had moved to Waterville&#8217;s Barney Square. It appears that Gardner never married.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_984\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-984\" style=\"width: 922px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/mainebeer\/files\/2018\/07\/Gardner-Waterville-Sanborn-1884.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-984 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/mainebeer\/files\/2018\/07\/Gardner-Waterville-Sanborn-1884.jpg\" alt=\"Charles T.
