Description

Cherryfield, Maine National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7, Page 20: 50. J. W. Coffin and Company store, c. 1860 - C River Road Moved to its present site when the existing bridge was built in 1936, this two-and-a-half-story frame building was built to house the J. W. Coffin and Company Store, and apparently a Masonic Hall on its second floor. Its four-bay front elevation is composed of a pair of two-leaf doors and two twoover-two windows on the first story and a trio of widely spaced six-over-six windows above. The south gable end is punctuated by a variety of openings including four six-over-six windows and a two-panel door. The cornice has a broad overhang and short gable end returns. Prior to its move, the building stood on the opposite of the bridge from the Nash building (49).
