Carreau Block

The Carreau Block is a historic Classical Revival apartment block at 640-642 Chicopee Street in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The fifteen-unit three story brick building was built in 1912 by Louis Carreau, a locally notable builder of French Canadian extraction. It is his only known surviving building of this type; the only others are single family wood frame houses, and other multiunit buildings have been demolished. The building features stone window lintels, banding under the cornice, and ornately hooded entrances. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
