The NRHP Nomination Form contains the following verbiage to describe this contributing building's significance:

The one-story 90' x 110' concrete one-story storefront faces SE Stephens, with four bays with a recessed panel in the upper front (west) facade marking each entrance. It has a flat roof, fixed wood frame display windows and the original transoms over the four separate entrance doors. The building is faced with light colored brick.

This building has housed many different businesses including a hardware, a sporting good store, a lunch counter and deli, and an auto parts store. It is now the site of Mid Oregon Printing and Stationery; one unit is vacant. The structure was apparently built for Rollin Foster and Zopher Agee, son of John Agee, early settler. In the 1940s the two most northern units were occupied by Nordling Auto Parts.

This building is Inventory #180 on pages 83-84 of the NRHP Nomination Form and was erected in 1924. Today, this building is home to Mid-Oregon Printing and Studio M Hairstyles for Men & Women.
