1916, John Kevan Peebles. 101 North Main St.

Suffolk's third impressive skyscraper is again by Peebles. In his use of the overhanging cornice, the overall massing, and very New Yorkish design, Peebles shows his admiration for the works of McKim, Mead and White. The high limestone base is ornamented with gold coin medallions.
