211-213 W Main
1885, 1909 - Vandercook's Block
Neo-Classical Style
This was one of just two named blocks to appear on the 1888 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. Today two two-story
brick buildings are combined by unified ownership and a partly unified storefront. The single storefront at 211 is a
utilitarian storefront that represents the re-facing of an earlier facade that dates back at least to 1888. The double-
storefront Vandercook's Block remains distinctive despite its having been painted brown. It is distinguished by its
prominent centered pediment and the use of stone lintels. The upper level housed the Knights of Pythias Hall and is
a clear span space with cast iron support columns.
