In Plymouth, on Main Street, is the Rollins Building, with a dated stone with the year 1893.

The building is on the east side of Main Street, and across the street from the Town Common. It is also across the street from the Congregational Church.

The building is a brick structure 2 stories high, with a central dormer like feature. Just above the second story windows in the center is the dated stone, "1893," then the name, "Rollins Building." Above this text is an interesting brickwork design with a keystone. On the first floor is a market.
