The Fisher Building-Latham Block at 111, 113, and 115 North Sixth Street combines two separate buildings begun in 1856, joined by internal entrances and now treated as one structure. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 28, 2000.

Two buildings, one block. The larger Latham Block keeps a typical mid-19th century commercial design with classical influences, visible in its symmetrical windows with cast iron hoods, while the Fisher Building was renovated in the Classical Revival style in 1900 with a two-story bay window, a decorative cornice, and limestone trim.
