The Bridges, Smith & Co. Building is located at 118-122 E. Main Street. The main portion of the building is six stories with a wing of two stories on the east half. I'm not sure of the date of construction, and I am only assuming (based on its appearance) that it was built during the Deco years, in this case, probably in the 1930s or 40s.

There isn't much in the way of ornamentation. Just basic geometric designs - tall vertical fluted/flat columns nearly flush to its face, inset squares carved between windows, and short vertical flutes between windows and along the roofline. The door opening also has a slightly tapered/convergent and fluted surrounding.
