Hale Brothers Department Store, a neoclassical building designed by the Reid Brothers and built in 1912, was added to the National Register in 1986.

In 2001, three buildings built between 1924 and 1926 were added to the district. 36 Fifth Street is a ten-story steel and reinforced concrete building. The Stevenson Street buildings are twin eight-story, reinforced concrete structures. These three buildings were built as a grocery store, warehouses, and offices for the department store.
