Historic Registry

28 (formerly 28-30) Main Street, c. 1895.

Brick, three stories, flat roof. This commercial building, constructed from tan color bricks, is three bays wide. The second story windows share a rectangular stone lintel and the third story windows are each recessed in round-headed arches. There is corbelled frieze and a pressed metal cornice. The building was sand blasted in 1978.

This c. 1895 commercial block originally housed a steam laundry and was built in the alley north of the Bacon Block and attached to it. Its restrained but elegant style echoes the corbelling and arched windows of its 1875 neighbors. It is a very good example of late 19th century commercial block architecture.
