Property Features
Thi sbuilding has some historical interest as the location of a long-term millinery business. Although none of the businesses are historically significant individually, the building does contribute to the overall development of commerce in the Main Street Historic District.
A small frame building constructed for Edmund Sweeney around 1860, this two-story, two-bay buliding's facade has been completely altered. Originally featuring a projecting Italianate cornice, the Sweeney building, used for a millinery shop for many years, now is covered by vertical metal siding on the second story and shingles on the lower story. Furthermore the building has been converted to residential use.
The Efmund Sweeney building has suffered extensive and unsympathetic alterations of its architectural character. Because of the extensive alteration of its historic character, this building does not contribute to the proposed Main Street Historic District.
