Description and history

edit

It is a two-story, wood-framed, Queen Anne style retail block which has retained even its original storefronts. It has a narrow cornice with plain brackets, and some second-floor windows are paired and headed by triangular pediments. It is notable for the survival without significant alterations, of even its storefronts, since its construction in 1910, and is one of a small number of surviving commercial buildings form that period in Hyannis.[2]

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