In the early days it was an ornament to Concord. It extended along State street facing the state house. The brick ends of the building belonged to other owners. In the rear, fronting on Green street, stood several dwelling-houses. These houses were reached by private ways called North and South Lanes, they ran westerly from State to Green street, and under the arches of Call's Block.
