The
NRHP Nomination Form contains the following verbiage to describe this contributing building's significance:
This one-story 40' x 80' cast concrete building is faced with light-colored brick with a cast concrete cornice. The north one-half of the building was constructed in 1920, the southern one-half in 1924. The building is divided by brick pilasters; large display windows are replacement, but in keeping with the structure.
J.O. Newland & Son Company was one of four early auto dealers in Roseburg; James Newland started the Dodge agency in 1914 in Roseburg. In 1924 Newland doubled the floor space of his building by adding the southern half; this portion was later a restaurant. The Dodge agency was sold by Newland to C.G. Farrier in 1930. Newland retained ownership of the building, which has housed a Pay-n-Take It Market, Safeway store, and a Western Auto store in the 1960s. The Roseburg Beauty College has been located here for several years.
This building is Inventory #185 on page 85 of the NRHP Nomination Form and was erected in 1920. Today, this building is still home to Roseburg Beauty College.
