The Wells Block is a historic mixed use commercial and residential block at 250-264 Worthington Street in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts.

The four story Italianate block was built in 1876 for Abner Abbey. The first floor housed retail shops, while the upper floors were operated as a tenement house, boarding house, and hotel until they were extensively damaged by fire in 1946. The upper floors were vacant when the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2][1]
