This is a one-story brick building constructed in 1925. It is considered Vernacular Commercial as it follows no particular architectural design, but was built as a serviceable building for the purposes of the occupant. It has large automobile display window openings facing E. Main Street, which are currently boarded up. Projected brick pilasters divide the facade and extend above the roofline. Window openings on the east side are also boarded.
The west occupancy, addressed officially as 125 E. Main has a sign indicating it houses (or once housed) Brandon's Bar. The doors and boarded windows are painted yellow, with four square window openings remaining. It could not be determined whether this business is still in operation here.
The east occupancy is vacant, but once housed Billinger Farm Supply. Three ghost signs can be read on the front and side of this portion of the building. One reads "BILLINGER FARM SUPPLY - SUPERIOR FOODS FOR POULTRY & LIVESTOCK". The other two substitute "FERTILIZERS & SEEDS" for "POULTRY & LIVESTOCK". Above the entrance, a sign reads "WE BUY CREAM & EGGS".
This building is Item 12 on the District nomination.
