This elegantly embellished building, shows a dual personality because it was initially divided into a hotel, to the left, and a drug store, to the right. Built in 1887 this was also, strangely, Philipsburg's first gas station.

In the 1880s and 1890s, masonry structures gradually replaced the frame buildings left from Philipsburg’s mining camp days. Doe and Hoyer constructed this commercial brick building in 1887. Modini’s Grand Hotel and Restaurant was located in the west half. M. E. Doe and his sons owned and managed the drug store on the east half of the ground floor until 1969. Doe’s Drug Store even sold the town’s first gasoline, hand pumped from barrels out front.
