Description and history

It was built sometime between June 23, 1813 and 1817 at a prominent intersection known as Robinson's Point, and is a three-story, load bearing brick wedge-shaped building with the bricks on the exterior laid in a Flemish bond pattern. It sits on an uncoursed rubble foundation and has a full basement. The building housed a grain and feed storage and sales company until 1941.
