The grocery partners Hopkins & Hawley had this Greek Revival building erected in 1838-39. They had earlier been located in the building next door at 233 Front Street. Massive granite piers and a deep granite lintel with a molded cornice frame the ground floor. The Flemish bond brick on the four upper stories seems to be a later refacing of the original brick front.
“This robust Greek Revival building was erected in 1838-39 for grocers Hopkins & Hawley. At the ground floor, massive granite piers carry a deep granite lintel with molded cornice.”
