"499 Main Street (Contributing)
The property at 499 Main Street is a two-story commercial building constructed in 1871. The
property is commonly known as Yellow Drugstore. The building has a flat roof, exterior brick
walls and a limestone foundation. The first-story level façade (east elevation) has an altered
storefront (c. 1985) with three projecting commercial style window bays and two recessed
modern entrances. Surrounding the single-light windows and doors is modern synthetic exterior
siding (first-story only). A mansard style frame canopy with asphalt shingles extends above the
first-story entrances/windows. The second-story façade retains original one-over-one windows
with stone sills and brick segmental arches. The façade extends falsely above the roofline and has decorative brick pendant corbelling. A low concrete sheathed (brick) wall with coping borders
the top of the façade. The south elevation (which faces Wood Street) has three single door
entrances with modern canvas awnings. Original windows are intact at the elevation. The
windows are similar in design to those noted on the façade (east elevation). An original door and
exterior wall staircase on the south elevation (east end) have been removed (date unknown)." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
