The Bangs Block is a historic commercial block at 1119 Main Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. The four story brick building was built in 1870 for John Bangs, who operated a flour and dry goods business on the premises. His son, Adam Bangs, used the space as a meat market, and it has seen a variety of commercial uses since then. The building is four window bays wide, presenting a relatively narrow profile to the street; it has Italianate detailing in the brickwork.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
