The Coffits Building was constructed in 1903-1904 to house the ice cream and confectionary business of Henry W. Coffits. It was called “the most elaborate confectioner’s establishment in the state.” The three-story brick-faced commercial style building incorporates the name in a carved stone plaque set in the curved pediment. The design is distinguished by a stone base, brick columns, and other decorative brickwork. After 1910 the building housed taverns and restaurants on the first story, and art engravers and other printing enterprises on the second floor. It has been the home of Hall Bicycle since 1977.
