Historical note: The Grant Block is located on the former site of the 1811 tavern Grant’s Coffee House, which served as the village hall, council chamber, and stagecoach office into the 1820s. In the 1880s, the building was occupied by A.H. Platts and Company, a cigar manufacturer. A stamped metal frieze with garland swags and overhanging cornice dating to the last quarter of the nineteenth century was removed during the 1955 remodeling."
