The National Register's Registration Form provides an excellent overview (slight edits):
The Keller Durrett Hardware Store (1886) is a single story brick building with similar facade design to its sister building across the street at 616 7th Street. The original brick façade with transom windows and sign band above the transom highlight this example of a settlement retail building. Quoin brick relief appears on top of the façade and a fenestration of 4 brick pattern is laid above the transoms. The original rosettes for the awning are still attached to the front of the building. The roof is gone and the building requires stabilization. There is a connecting arch that connected 613 7th (J.F. Keller Building) to 615 7th that has been blocked up for separate ownership. J.F. Keller and H.M. Durrett operated a hardware store from 1885-1907. Keller was an alderman to the city council in 1893. Durrett was on the school board in 1894. Former occupants include office for Will Skeen - 1907; Old Kentucky Bar - 1915; Furniture, barber shop, and the Fair, a clothing store.
