The Brick Store, on Lisbon Road in Bath, New Hampshire, claims to be the oldest continuously operating general store in the United States.[2] The initial construction date of this brick two-story structure is uncertain, and was claimed to be 1804 by a 1937 reference work. Its predominantly Federal styling supports a date in this timeframe. It is known through other documentation to have been standing in 1814, and was damaged by fire in 1824. Repairs at that time probably included the addition of Greek Revival elements to the building's exterior. Although numerous Federal-style brick buildings were built in Bath, this is the only commercial one to survive.[3]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
