The building was constructed circa 1901 after the 1900 fire. By 1922, the 34' x 60' structure housed Christopherson's Jewelry Store in the west half and the U.S. Post Office in the east half. By 1930, the post office had moved west to the Stevenson Building and was replaced by a commercial store.

About 1947, Helen Browne moved her "Helen's Hat and Dress Shop" here from the Palace Store Bldg. Helen later changed the name of her business to "Helen's Apparel." In January, 1960, Helen Browne retired, selling her business to Mona Wolf and Ruth Ann DeShirley. They changed the business name to "Style Station" and later to "Fashionette." This business closed in 1968. [Ray Cardwell: Cardwell's, 2010]

At the time of the Nomination, the two storefronts were occupied by the eastern portion of Victorian Rose.

This one-story brick building has a raised parapet decorated with a brick drip coursing. The top of the parapet has been modified by the removal of some of the brick coursing and the application of stucco over the part of the parapet. The spandrels are decorated with a series of small recessed panels and the two bays are separated by raised brick pilasters. The storefronts have been altered by enclosing the transoms and bulkheads with Roman bricks, and altering the doors and windows to aluminum sash.
