The National Register's Registration Form (see Optional link) indicates that this building was constructed around 1896, and brick was added around 1908. However, the current façade dates to around 1940, which is still acceptable within the district's timeline. The building is certainly an oddball, but there are plenty of others in the district's boundaries that have been subjected to radical changes. The Registration Form provides some background:
This one-story building is brick faced with Vitrolite-type glass panels. It has a metal awning covering the transom. The flush street level façade has a pair of glass panel metal entry doors, a short wood display window, and the façade are finished with wood board and batten siding. The building has an angled horizontal and lighted horizontal projection at the roof line which extends like a triangular awning over the store front.

The adjacent Kress Building collapsed suddenly in 2016, possibly due to becoming unstable after the building next to it was removed. The whole block is still viewable on Google Street Maps as of August 2013.
