According to the Alachua County Historic Preservation website: "This commercial building preserves the form and style of a small Romanesque Revival church. Its central "nave" is raised to allow clerestory lighting and shorter "side aisles" flank the nave. A triple arched entrance and corbelled cornice are also noteworthy. Originally the building had an interior rail car entrance and track so that loading and unloading of goods might take place inside the building."

From the Florida Division of Historical Resources: "1914. Romanesque Revival. 1 and a half stories. The central "nave" of the building is raised to allow clerestory lighting. For many years occupied by a wholesale grocery concern. Later used as a warehouse and retail firm by Cox Furniture Company. Private. N.R. 1994."
