3rd Washington Smith Walnut Block

This block houses many interesting structures, including the Royal Dog restaurant and the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant. The block faces east onto Third Street Park and has been the home to Boxcar Books and the Bloomington Playwrights Project in its recent history.

The blocks in this area are double length in the north-south direction, as Prospect Street stops at Madison Avenue on the west side, due to the location of the former railroad track. On the east, the Atwater Street curve begins just past Dunn Street.
