About this property

Honan's Block and 112–114 Main Street are a pair of joined commercial buildings in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Honan's Block (108–110 Main Street) is a visually distinctive three-story brick Stick/Eastlake-style building erected in 1879. The adjacent 112–114 Main Street is an L-shaped two-story block which wraps around the rear of the Honan Block. The two buildings were joined via internal connections in 1938–39, at which time the facades of both buildings were significantly altered, although the Honan Block has retained its distinctive Late Victorian cast-iron elements. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and contribute to the 1991 Main Street Historic District.
