The historic 1904 D.C. McDonald Building at 108 F Street in Eureka, California. The building is a two-story masonry structure with Classical detailing and is rectangular in plan, 60 feet long by 30 feet wide. It is built of cement blocks and bricks with six plate glass windows on the ground floor and are topped by frosted transom windows. A handsome central arched entry is flanked by fluted pilasters and decorated with a scroll keystone. A wide brick band separates the first and second stories and contains the words which identify the building and its long-time use. On the second story there are four pairs of arched windows, each with a keystone and a larger central arched window over the entry. From the time of its construction in 1904, until 1960 the building was occupied by the D.C. McDonald Company, an important local building supply firm.
The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1982. It is also a contributing structure in the Eureka Historic District which was placed on the National Register on October 15, 1991.
