Crofut Block (1876)

The National Register of Historic Places notes that the Crofut Block, located at 253-255 Main Street in Danbury, is a good example of Italianate commercial architecture. It provides a date of 1876 for the building and notes that the heirs of the original owners sold the property in the 1890s. The block consists of two attached buildings at 253 and 255 Main Street. Town property listings give a date of 1896 for the section at 253 Main Street. The interior of the store at 255 Main Street retains an original pressed tin ceiling.
