The original Vible and Broderson store was constructed by John Vible and Louis Broderson in 1888. It is a one-story rectangular hewn log structure with a gable roof (37.5'x 21'). The wall logs have full dovetail notching and are now chinked with cement. The roof is supported by hewn log purlins and ridgepole and is covered with asphalt shingles. The structure is divided into two basic rooms by means of a log partition and has a wood floor. The front or east elevation has a wooden door and two flanking windows with 1 over 1-light double-hung wood sash and frames. There is a second boarded up entrance on the south elevation and a second window on the north elevation. A wood-frame coal shed with gable roof (10'x 10') was built onto the rear or west side of the store at an unknown date.
