Yeah very common in small towns around the square. Many of them are offices upstairs now too.

It's where the small town lawyer always lives in a John Grisham book.

Yeah, "around the square." As in, only in the oldest part of town that existed before zoning.

If that's "common" relative to the total housing stock of the town, it means the town has stagnated for the past half-century or more. If it hasn't stagnated, then that building type is relatively incredibly rare compared to the single-family sprawl that would make up the entire rest of the town outside the square.
