Date 1986 Photo #90-11-D108 NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable) The shop at 614 Main Street, Hyannis, possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. It is significant for its associations with the development of Hyannis' Main Street commercial area, and as a well preserved and detailed early 20th century commercial block.

It thus meets criteria A and C of the National Register of Historic Places. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community. This small scale, 11/2 story wood frame commercial block exhibits the exposed rafters associated with the Arts and Crafts style, popular in the early 20th century. In scale, materials and workmanship, it is similar to several other Main Street blocks built during the period (D-109). Second story storage space is gained through a full, seven window shed roof dormer extended across the front of the gable roof. Intact storefronts include multi-pane transoms and recessed entries. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community.

This small scale wood frame Arts and Crafts style commercial block typifies west Main Street's gradual conversion to a commercial area in the early 20th century. Despite its obvious commercial nature, it relates well to the scale and materials established by the earlier residential buildings. Such intact older commercial blocks contribute greatly to Hyannis' ambiance as a summer resott, and reflect its development as such at the turn-of-the-century.
