Notes
  • Significance: The Montello Mercantile Company was constructed during a period of unprecedented growth in Montello, when the nearby granite quarry started exerting an influence in the activities of the town. The original owners of the building probably chose the location they did because of its proximity to the quarry and the readily available pool of consumers the granite company provided. Because of its opportune location, the building has housed stores for the majority of its existence. The Montello Mercantile Company is an illustrative example of how Italianate design principles were applied to commercial buildings. The strong cornices, rectilinear pattern of brickwork, window hood molds, and flat surface treatments are all indicative of the style.
