411 S. Main St., Contributing c. 1890/c. 1918 Two-Part Commercial Block
This three-story brick building is a good example of an early twentieth century façade update of an older nineteenth century building. The building has four façade bays, defined by upper story fenestration, comprised of single, one-over-one light wood sash windows. Red face brick clads the upper façade wall and contrasting stone forms the window lintels and sills, the parapet coping, and a sign panel with letters in relief that read, "J.W. Jenkins Sons Music Co." The first story retains the historic storefront with its deeply recessed central entrance bay and transom above. Additional character-defining features include the shaped parapet wall and the use of stone blocks and soldier brick courses across the upper façade wall creating a restrained tapestry brick effect. This building retains very good integrity and clearly contributes to the commercial and architectural significance of the District...
First National Bank/J.W. Jenkins Music Company Building. This building first appears on the 1891 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, at which time it contained a bank with office space on the upper floors. Between 1891 and 1906, the rear of the building was extended to the rear lot line. It continued as a bank into the twentieth century until Jenkins Music Company took ownership and remodeled the building to its current appearance around 1918. Jenkins remained in the building into the 1950s.
The building appears to be in very good condition and is currently used as a photography studio.
