Hickey-Osborne Block

The Hickey-Osborne Block is a historic commercial-residential building located in downtown Peabody, Massachusetts. This unique structure showcases the innovative repurposing of three residential homes dating back to 1797, which were elevated to create commercial storefronts beneath them. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, the block features five ground-floor storefronts and retains the architectural charm of its Federal-style upper levels. Visitors can explore the transformation of Peabody's Main Street from a residential area to a bustling commercial hub, with the Hickey-Osborne Block serving as a well-preserved reminder of the city's historical roots.
