THE BARRELL BLOCK
Adams & Worth
72-76 Main Street

The north half of the Barrell Block was designed by Francis Fassett in 1850 in Greek Revival architecture for Meader & Phillips who were druggists. Charles Barrell purchased the building and the lot to the south in 1874 and hired architect Francis Fassett to build a new structure and join it to the existing brick store.

An Italianate style cornice unified both structures but the upper floor windows of the original building were not changed.

It was formerly Lincoln's Department Store, Berry's Stationers, Red Oak Sports, and now housesAdams and Worth Home Furnishings.
