Title
Building at 276-278 Water Street, Wakefield, Mass.
Description
Photos show views of the buildings located at 276-278 Water Street Street on the north side of the street between Preston Street and Newhall Court. The brick Renaissance Revival style tenement was built between 1907 and 1922, and its urban mixed-use form is unusual outside of the town's central business district. The 278 portion of the building has a large cast iron cornice. At one point the first floor store front was the meeting place of the local Italian American community's Holy Mary Del Carmen Society.
