It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.^[1] The building was constructed around 1880 in the German section of the city. It is a three-story commercial building with a store front on the main level and four bays on the upper floors. The window openings in the upper floors feature brick segmental arches with keystones and brick sills.^[2] The building was constructed in brick, but has subsequently been covered with siding.
