"260 Main Street (Contributing)
The building at 260 Main Street was constructed c. 1925 and used as a post office (west / primary side) and auto accessories store (east / rear side). This two-story brick commercial building has a poured concrete foundation and stepped built-up side elevations that obscure views of the roof. The façade (west elevation) has two entrances facing Main Street on the first floor level. At the north end of the elevation are paired single-light, wood paneled doors. A transom above the doors is enclosed. The entry is offset by two single replacement windows of one-over-one design. The adjacent sidewalk is stepped at the facade’s center and provides service to a central door (situated lower than the north entrance). This entry holds a single-light commercial style door with an enclosed transom. A metal awning extends above the entrance. The south end of the façade holds bays that have been partially filled and altered with contemporary six-over-six paired windows. Entrances and windows (on all elevations) retain original jack arches and limestone sills. The upper façade holds five windows of replacement one-over-one design. Above the windows is a decorative brick rectangular pattern. Above the brick band is a terra cotta tile cornice with dentils. A secondary commercial style recessed entrance is situated on the south elevation facing Collier Street. Windows on the south and rear (east) elevations are one-over-one design. The rear elevation has an upper (second-story) level entrance accessed via metal stairs. Rear elevation windows have single-light transoms. There is no fenestration on the north elevation." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
