Maynard Block/Masonic Block690-700 Main Street Waltham, Mass.
Year Built: 1891 Year Demolished: 1978This building was built in 1891 and was demolished in 1978. It was an interesting combination of Colonial Revival and Romanesque. The building was flat-roofed with a façade of pressed brick and a refined and elegant ornamentation, including terra cotta molded brick. The second floor windows were Palladian and the broken pediment over the last window evokes the Colonial Revival. Subtle in its monochromatic ornament, the building was quietly striking.
