201 E. Main Street, Fremont
Wayne County
This simple commercial building was built probably in the
early to mid twentieth century. Its embellishments, like the
plain stone lintels and sills of the windows, gabled roof
parapet, and heavy molded tin string course which
terminates on the end with a bracket of classical motif (note
the dentil moldings under the floral motif) are reminiscent of
the Colonial Revival-style. The corbelled brickwork forms
one large panel with a double front with each side retaining
some portion of its original appearance. It retains the tin
string course serving as a cornice to the first story with a hint
of engaged pilasters toward the top. It is simple yet nicely
appointed.
The interior of the building, specifically the second floor, has
suffered significant damage from a partial roof collapse and
subsequent water infiltration. Although the interior needs to
be completely rehabilitated with all new systems installed,
the exterior walls and façade require mostly cosmetic
updates and removal of the brick to reveal the original store
front.
Some adaptive reuse ideas include: first floor wine shop,
florist, hair salon/spa with second floor living or office space.
