The Gilman Block was a historic block at 207-219 Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was a four-story brick building, with Classical Revival and Romanesque/Tuscan Mediterranean influence, built in 1896 to a design by the local architectural firm of Cutting, Carleton & Cutting.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000,[1] at which time it stood alone on its block, the surrounding buildings having been demolished by urban renewal activities.[2]
The building was acquired by the state and demolished in 2004 to provide space for the new court building. The court building incorporated a part of the facade of the former Gilman block and has an exposition of the history of the historical building.[3]
