The Republican Block is a historic commercial block at 1365 Main Street in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts. The Italianate style building was constructed in 1858 to serve as the home for the Springfield Republican, one of the state's oldest newspapers. The Republican occupied the premises until 1867, when it was bought by D. H. Brigham. Brigham greatly expanded the premises, and operated a clothing factory and shop in the building, which remained in business until 1969.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
