History of the Building
The Columbian Block remains one of the widest and most architecturally imposing buildings on Market Street.
The original western half of the building was a family owned restaurant, constructed in 1890. The eastern addition housed a store, originally constructed in 1909.
The Columbian Block is unique in its use of elaborate molded brick to create surface texture and rhythm, its dark color and in its scale and massing when compared with surrounding buildings in the Four Corners Historic District.
