Why it mattered
The Central House — Main Street matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This richly-ornamented façade has a pleasing appearance, due to the symmetry and arcading of the ground floor openings, which is a feature of many commercial buildings in this town. Fine craftsmanship is also apparent in the detailing of the shopfront. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
