The Caudill Building
169 Main Street
Built between 1865 and 1870 in the Greek Revival style. John D. Caudill bought the building and the lot from W.M. Harrison Ford of Catlettsburg in 1886. It appears on the 1910 Sandborn Insurance Map as a general store. One of the few early buildings of Pikeville still standing, it is the only commercial building in downtown with a Palladian window. This building was built shortly after the Civil War for Harrison Ford, who served in the Union forces as a Captain of some prominence. Tradition has it that L.D. Yost built this and the Bowles building after he returned from the Civil War. The brick for both buildings was handmade on site. Which store building was built first has not been determined, but they are the two oldest buildings remaining in the City of Pikeville.
