A large two-story, brick veneered, wood frame store and warehouse.

The structure consists of two distinct halves built nearly ten years apart for different purposes. The older half, circa 1896, originally housed a feed store. The newer half, constructed as a carriage and wagon repair shop in 1905, has a projecting glass storefront (added in 1955) that housed Giroux Furniture Company for many years.

Adjacent to the rail yard and across a main thoroughfare from the passenger depot, the building has throughout its history housed businesses that thrived on the intersection of rail freight and people.

Rehabbed in 2006; as of late 2010 it is once again occupied by a furniture company.
