Mausert Block is a historic block at 19—27 Park Street in Adams, Massachusetts designed in the Romanesque architectural style. It is one of the four brick buildings on Park Street along with the P. J. Barrett Block, Jones Block, and Armory Block.

The Mausert Block was built in 1900 and 1901 by George and Conrad Mausert, brothers and local businessmen. Walter J Donovan established his law offices on the second floor from 1920 until 1970. F.W. Woolworth moved into 19-21 Park Street in 1930s.[2] It once contained the Adams Masonic Hall. In 1982 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] In 2009 the building was formally condemned, although its tenants were not evicted. It was purchased by Braytonville Properties in 2011, and rehabilitation begun.[2]
