"Kresge's" is a two-story, flatroof, yellow-brick commercial building with Classical Revival details and two pairs of storefronts with shared central recessed entrances. The new building was erected as the first Kresge's in Woonsocket and opened its doors on November 17, 1923. Kresge's, a five-and-dime-and-twenty-five cent national chain store, soon expanded with a second building next door at 122-136 Main Street.
