Main Street's oldest surviving commercial building was built of village-hewn timber in 1833 by the Brackett brothers.
William (1785-1859) and Aaron B. (1797-1868) traders in general merchandise.
An upstairs hall hosted meetings, notably in 1848, the celebration of the town's first public Catholic Mass.
In the 1890s, a flat roof replaced the original peaked roof and a third elevation was contrived.
In the 1900s, grocery and hardware stores prospered beneath this eclectic façade that alludes to its Italianate and Queen Anne neighbors.
