The Lemon Block marked the western entrance to Rossland from the stage road to Northport, Washington when the building was constructed in 1895. R. E. Lemon had his General Store on the main floor and living accommodations above. For a short time in 1896, the store housed the first Bank of Montreal before it moved across the street and later into the present Bank of Montreal building in 1900.
Barely recognizable now due to exterior and interior renovations, the only certain identification indicators on the exterior are the two bow windows on the second floor.
The building has been divided into apartments for a number of years.
