The Browning Block, a building on the southeast corner of Main and Center Sts. in Paris, Idaho, was built in 1905. The building has included specialty stores and a local bank. It is centrally located; across the intersection, on the northeast corner, is the Bear Lake County Courthouse, also NRHP-listed. [2]: 4 The construction of the building greatly changed the surrounding streetscape; the commercial block absorbed a preexisting bank building and made Main Street narrower by 16 feet (4.9 m). In addition, the building had some of the most lavish architecture in the city, as it featured a classically inspired frieze and decorative marquees. [3]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]
