The turreted corner of the Endicott Hotel has been a Main Street landmark since 1894. (Corner towers were a popular means of accentuating a prized corner site, yet this is the only one in Concord to survive.) Within easy walking distance of Railroad Square, the hotel catered to the many people coming to Concord on business.
The building was the first large commercial structure erected on Main Street south of Pleasant Street, effectively stretching the downtown core southward and transforming Pleasant Street into a major commercial cross-axis. It was also the first downtown structure to be wholly devoted to business use, rather than incorporating private apartments or a meeting hall on its upper floor
