Chappell Hill's NRHP Main Street Historic District is an area covering 36 buildings, most of them built between 1850 and 1915 and reflecting the many variations in architectural style within that period in history.

The founding of the town of Chappell Hill is contributed to Mary Hargrove Haller who purchased a 100-acre site in this part of Texas on February 2, 1847 and subsequently commissioned a survey and the plotting of town lots. Just three years later, Mary Haller and her husband Jacob began building a two-story frame house now known as the "Stagecoach Inn" at the northwest corner of the center of that new town.
The Jack Winfield Store, located towards the Southern end of the Historic District and 3 blocks away from that "Stagecoach Inn", was built in 1915 and is therefore one of the most recent structures within the District's pre-selected 1850-1915 architectural time period. It is now a Garden & Mercantile (mostly Antiques) shop called the Heritage store.
Per its official NRHP records, the building includes the following architectural features:
"One-story, frame, early 20th-century vernacular commercial building with stepped false front crowned with simple molding. Rectangular plan with corrugated metal roof. Wooden overhang with standing-seam metal roof is supported by three wooden posts. Symmetrically placed, central, double (front) entry doors and clerestory windows above line of overhang. Clapboard siding on front facade is painted. Overhanging canopy altered. Interior rehabilitated. Site of earlier store."
