The Coffin Shop, also known as the Kring Carpenter Shop, is a historic commercial building in Gainesville, Sumter County, Alabama. The one-story wood-frame structure was built by Edward N. Kring between 1860 and 1870 as an auxiliary space to his carpenter shop, which originally stood next door. It is a simple gable-fronted structure, with a shotgun plan interior. The exterior features a clapboard-sided front, with a scalloped bargeboard trim on the gable. The other external walls are covered in board and batten siding.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1985.[1]
