Amherst House hotel and business block

Amherst (Mass.)

View looking west on Main Street and showing a section of Merchants' Row and the second incarnation of the Amherst House. Businesses shown in the Amherst House block include E. R. Clark, Deuel's Drug Store, a clothes shop, and Amherst E-O Store. There are ladies sitting on a bench on the northwest end of the Town Common and a horse pulling a cart in the street.

The first Amherst House, and most of Merchants' Row, were consumed by fire on July 4, 1879. The Amherst House was rebuilt in 1880, and was completely destroyed by another fire in 1926.
