The Caledonia Building is a historic commercial building at 185-193 High Street in downtown Holyoke, Massachusetts. The four story Second Empire building was constructed in 1874 for Roswell B. Crafts, a local businessman and politician. Its first floor housed businesses, the second and third floors house offices, and the fourth floor was an open ballroom space. In 1879 the Caledonian Benefit Society, established to assist immigrating Scots, began meeting on the top floor; it purchased the building in 1909.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979,[1] and was included in the North High Street Historic District in 1986.[2]
