Groves Block building on the east side of Main Street, referred to as Robert Block in early recorded deeds.
This building has a rich history dating back to 1899, when Walter B. Groves purchased the lot from Henry L. Alden, who once owned the Camden Anchor Works where Public Landing now stands. Groves hired Stephen Ritterbush to design and construct the four-story building, which he operated as a Traveler’s Inn and restaurant on the first floor until 1919. That year, he sold it to George E. Allen, marking the start of its next chapter. The building then housed the Allen Agency, focusing on insurance and real estate, for many years.
Over time, it has seen various occupants, with Camden Pottery taking the ground floor at one point, and today, it hosts Lily Lupin & Fern, blending its historical roots with modern use.
Currently owned by third generation Montgomery family.
