The Green Room Building

CO9-18-14, 130 East Main Street, Chandler's Drug Store, TAC-40, 1876-1882 (alterations 1911; 2001; 2005; 2008-2009)

This is a two-story, three-bay brick building constructed in common bond brick, with stone sills, tin window molds, and a cast iron front from George L. Mesker, Evansville, IN. Brick corbelling and a decorative metal parapet accent this Italianate style building.

W. T. Chandler ran a drugstore on the site from the 1880s until the early-I900s. A fire in March 1911 caused $50 damage to the building. By the 1930s, Garland Shipp ran a restaurant here, followed by a series of pool rooms, a craft shop (the Smock), W. R. Knifley Wholesale Grocery, a shoe store (Gray's), the News-Journal, a print shop, and an antiques shop (Main Street Memories).

It remains one in a series of five buildings in this block which retain their late-19th century character and design with little store front alteration.
