Union Block, Renaissance Revival building in Mount Pleasant, United States.
The Union Block features red-brick walls, trefoil-arched windows, and a grand third-floor ballroom within its Italianate architectural structure.
William McCandless constructed the Union Block in 1861, which later became a venue for county courts and significant community gatherings.
The third floor of Union Block served as a platform for notable speakers including Frederick Douglass and hosted meetings for abolitionists and suffrage advocates.
