A document about downtown Saranac Lake has the following about the building:
"The well-known T.F. Finnigan’s, is another architectural wonder. Once a candy store, it still has the original cabinetry and woodwork. In 1923, it was bought by T.F. Finnigan and it is operated by his grandson today. At one time there were ten independent clothing stores in business in downtown Saranac Lake. Finnigan's is the only original one still in business."
