The National Register's Registration Form provides an excellent overview (slight edits), although Depot Square has long been closed, and Eastern Treasures now occupies the building:

The original 1913 construction design is superbly evident with its original window transoms, molded concrete cornice, and elevated sidewalk awning supports. Its color accents, deep maroon and gray, are preferred by the local Landmark Commission design review board. The original storefront with sunken front doors, display galls, tin ceiling, wooden floors continue as a setting for Depot Square Antiques, the current business. Former uses include J.S. Garlington and Company (grocer). Consumer Cash Store, Uneeda Garage and Tire Company, Keystone Pipe and Supply. The building represents the early day wholesale business for the city. The owner of this building is Depot Square Antiques.
