A commercial building of this general configuration frist appeared on the 1897 Sanborn Fire Insurance map not showing the preceeding one of 1888. The face of the building however appears to date from the 1928 rebuilding This vernacular structure would not detract from the establishment of an historic district in the surrounding area of high quality 19th & 20th century commercial buildings. The street facade is divided into two bays each containing formerly similar storefronts
