Description and history

The former Hathaways Store building stands northwest of downtown Windsor, on the east side of East Street near its crossing of Mill Brook. It is a 2-1/2 story structure, built of painted brick and covered by a gabled roof. It is set close the street on a steeply sloping lot, present two stories to the front and a single-story wood-frame addition to the rear. The front has one entry at the center of the three-bay facade on the ground floor, and a second above that on the second floor, accessed by a two-bay shed-roof porch, whose stairs extend to the right side. The porch has turned posts and balusters, with brackets at the roof. The main roof eaves are trimmed with simple Italianate bracketing. The upper entrance is flanked by sash windows with simple trim, and there is another window in the gable end above. [2]

The store was built about 1850, when the East Street area was populated with a number of mills and other industries. One small mill stood just to the west, and there was also a blacksmith's shop across the street. The first proprietor was Duane Hathaway, a farmer who lived farther down East Street. [2]
