Saco Mercantile is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Saco, Montana. It was added to the Register on December 8, 1997. It has also been known as the Saco Co-operative Store and as the C.P. Martin Store. [1]

It is a two-story brick commercial building. Its NRHP nomination states that:

The Saco Mercantile's design embodies the typical characteristics of the Western Commercial style. The primary facade (south) is organized in a symmetrical, bipartite arrangement. This facade included a first floor storefront typical of the period, having a central entrance flanked by display windows, a lower window panel, and a transom across the top. A canvas storefront awning is pictured in historic photos of the building. Engaged pilasters enframe the storefront, and extend up to visually support the cornice. A third pilaster divides the upper story into two equal parts, each part houses two double-hung windows. These openings are finished with flat brick arches and a continuous stone sill stretching between the pilasters. An ornate metal and brick cornice crowns the front. It begins with a corbeled brick stretcher course above which are two recessed brick panels. Above the panels is a projecting metal cornice with garlands across the frieze. Above this, a short brick parapet rises to a secondary brick cornice which echoes the lines of the lower metalwork. [2]

The Merrero Building is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1918 to replace a three-story brick building on the same location that was damaged in a fire the previous year. While there was a debate about whether to rebuild or build new, it appears they built a new building. It is a two-story structure with three storefronts on the main level. It is significant as an example of early 20th-century commercial design and material. The exterior is composed of white glazed brick with paired windows on the second floor. An old fashioned Italianate metal cornice caps the main facade. While it looks out of place, historic photos show that it is part of the original design. Marble panels were originally located below the display windows on the main floor. The storefront on the left has been altered, but the other two are originals. Transoms above the second floor windows, and the prism glass transoms above the storefronts remain in place, but have been covered.
