Kenyon's Department Store

-A A +A
1888–1891, Charles Chase. Facade, c. 1915?. 505 Main St.
  • (Dexter Ennis Keegan)

A Wakefield commercial landmark since 1857, this interesting hybrid is a Queen Anne building in wood partially sheathed and partially expanded by a fine Neo-Renaissance sheet metal front which has miraculously escaped alteration.
