68-70 Main Street, c. 1820.

Wood frame, clapboarded, 2-1/2 stories, gabled roof sheathed in standing seam metal. This five bay residential style building has its gable roof sloping towards the street and has restored twelve-over-twelve light sash windows on the second story and a sympathetic store facade. This early 19th century residential building was converted to commercial use by 1873 and possibly as early as 1858. It was one of a group of buildings shown owned by Bancroft and Holmes on the 1858 map and notably survived the bad fires of 1875. It was restored in 1977. It is one of the oldest buildings on this part of Main Street.
