44-50 Main Street, 1875.

Brick, three stories, flat roof. The facade is grouped in store bays and although it is not symmetrical, it presents a unified appearance. A rock-faced granite belt course separates the first and second stories; the second and third floor windows have rectangular cut rock- faced granite lintels which are set in stepped corbelled hoods. The second story hoods have semi-circular arches whereas the third story hoods have segmental arches. This building is connected to 54 Main Street.

This Italianate style building, built c. 1875 is a good example of late 19th century commercial block architecture. Like its neighbors, this block was built after the fires of 1875 destroyed much of Main Street.
