Description and history

It is a 1-1/2 story, wood-framed building whose gable roof is pierced by a three-part dormer surrounded by a balustrade. The building, constructed in 1920, has retained almost all of its original details, more so than the nearly-identical building at 595 Main Street, which has not. The building is notable as a high quality local example of commercial Colonial Revival architecture, and is typical of the area's gradual transformation into a commercial area in the early 20th century.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.[1]
