Ackerly Building
Central Block Building With Wings
Ackerly Building (75-89 East Main Street) was completed in 1924 and architecturally is a “central block with wings”. The central block is crowned by two Grecian urns with “support” pedestals and a raised “Ackerly Building” sign. The broken horizontal band below the windows sets apart the three vertical masses: the central block and its mirror wings. The uninterrupted band across the top of the building pulls architectural elements together. Look for crosses holding the date of construction, wreathes, rosettes and colored tiles. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy blew off the top of one urn. The lower facade and street entrances are modern changes.
