The Carreau Block is a historic Classical Revival apartment block at 640-642 Chicopee Street in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The fifteen-unit three story brick building was built in 1912 by Louis Carreau, a locally notable builder of French Canadian extraction. It is his only known surviving building of this type; the only others are single family wood frame houses, and other multiunit buildings have been demolished. The building features stone window lintels, banding under the cornice, and ornately hooded entrances.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
