George's Block

[2] The third floor of the George's Block, not in use as of 2007, contained a lecture hall where a wide variety of speakers from around the United States would come for presentations.

In the first year the building existed such famous men as Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner and Bayard Taylor spoke there.

Even before the turn of the 20th Century a partial balcony, that had been in place below the second-floor windows of the three-story structure, was gone.

The first floor level once held a variety of storefronts, on both the State and Maple Street sides of the building.

On the upper floors the double hung windows have been replaced with single pane sashes.
