36 North Water Street, Greek Revival with Italianate Details, c. 1820-35

Located at 36 North Water Street, the Burroughs & Cushman Store is an example of an early 19th century dry goods store. The structure has also been used as for a cordwainer and mechanics shop as well as offices for attorneys, insurance companies, and a painter’s shop. In 1875, the building became the first home of the Citizens National Bank. The building was first mentioned in 1815 as the new dry goods store of Hathaway & Perry, and later housed another dry goods store of C. & S.B. Tobey. During the mid-nineteenth century, the building was remodeled in the Italianate style, as evidenced by the decorative window hoods and the detailing of the pilaster capitals. Today the building houses commercial businesses.
