Post office and Lincoln Block

Scott, Edgar T., 1858-1940

This is the east end of Phoenix Row on Main Street. The new Lincoln Block is in the foreground.

The Amherst Journal of 6/16/1950 states, "Built by the Allen Brothers of Amherst in 1909 and 1910, the structure was designed by James H. Ritchie of Boston... The location is the site of the home of Noah Webster..."

The Lincoln Block housed the Amherst Post Office until a separate post office building was constructed.

After 1909
