It was at 700 N Main, and a J W Frey is there in 1890 as a mantel dealer. I assume it was built about '88, probably had more going on with the tower.

I'm going to say that's the Oscar Macy Block by A. M. Edelman, built 1887-88 or perhaps just in 1888.
I think New Main was renamed North Main:

Could this have been Oscar Macy's house, just behind where his block is being built? I swear I just saw a photo of the house
with the three-story building in the rear, but I cannot now relocate it.
