This is a handsome example of a typical American building type which combines ground-floor commercial space with offices or living quarters above.

It was built around 1880 and was listed on the 1889 Sanborn Map as a restaurant and saloon. At one time, a boxing school was upstairs.

The building is interesting for its decorative treatment. The first floor is essentially Italianate with Eastlake inspired decorative elements, primarily channel-carved or applied cut-outs. A continuous garland and foliate motifs occur at the cornice level, around the window frames and on the corner pilasters of the second floor.
