113-119 Main Street. Joseph Wylie Building. Built ca. 1875, this large, two story brick building consists of two sections, a thirteen bay rectangular one that contained the general mercantile section of Wylie & Company, and an angled corner portion that was the grocery department. The first has been altered, although the corner section of the facade retains its original cast-iron Corinthian pilasters. The upper floors are stuccoed, with round-arched windows that have molded stucco label moldings and lions' mask iron label stops. Wooded paired brackets support the cornice which overhangs a paneled frieze with round folliated cast-iron ventilators. Joseph Kylie and Company was one of Chester's two large general mercantile house from the 1870s until it was closed in 1930. The corner portion has been recently rehabilitated.
