Date 1986 Photo #90-9-D109 NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable) The shop at 606 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. 606 Main Street is a small scale, one-story, wood-frame block with no direct stylistic: references. Typically, it is sheathed with wood shingles and enclosed by a gable roof. Second story storage space is gained through a full shed dormer extended across the front slope of the roof; the dormer contains seven windows, evenly spaced, with 6/1 sash. Storefronts retain their original configuration with narrow two light transoms and paired recessed entries. Scalloped valances define both the main roof and the dormer as well. 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 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 resort, and reflect its development as such at the turn-of-the-century.
