The Kennedy-Worthington Blocks are three historic commercial and industrial blocks on the east side of Main Street, a few blocks north of the downtown core of Springfield, Massachusetts. The five story brick blocks were built starting in 1872 for a locally prominent businessman, Emerson Wright, and are some of the largest and best preserved to survive from the period. The buildings have had a number of tenants important in Springfield's economic and civic life, including the offices of the Springfield Daily News, the Daily Union, and manufacturers such as Morgan Envelope and R.H. Smith.[2]
The blocks are located at 1585-1623 Main St. and 166-190 Worthington Street, and were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
