The Allen Block building on the corner of Main and Bank Row dates from 1827. TDA was engaged to completely renovate the building after having been left derelict for many years, including significant structural deficiencies uncovered during the design process. This project was supported by Federal and State Historic and New Market Tax Credits.

The Allen building at the center of downtown Greenfield now houses Greenfield Coffee, lawyer’s offices and loft style residential apartments. These projects were recipients of 2012 awards from the Massachusetts Historic Commission and Preservation Massachusetts. Both awards were “to recognize and celebrate the efforts and accomplishments of those individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to preserving the Commonwealth’s historic resources.”
