Henry Brashear Building

Built in the late nineteenth century, the Brashear building displays vaguely Renaissance motifs within a Victorian context. Located mid-block near Main Street in the once active commercial center of town, this small three-story building is constructed of brick, plastered heavily, with both the cornice and ground floor storefront (now only partially extant) of iron.
