The Big Dawg Building

C05-11-01, 101 East Main Street, Commercial Building, TAC-I0, 1911 (alterations 1974; 1994; 2000s)

Boasting a cast iron front, the brick facade alternates with six rows of stretcher courses with one header course typical of common bond. Segmental arched second floor windows are beneath the dentils coursework under the metal cornice. A 20th -century shingle roof covers the transom.

This brick building housed the Coca-Cola plant in early-20th century; it has also been the location of a restaurant (Louie the Greek, early 1920's), a Western Auto Store, and dress shops. It is now occupied by a radio station. It sits on comer of original Campbellsville lot #6.

Although altered, this building represents a continued sensitivity to design and scale in the downtown district as it supports the character and visual design of Main Street.
