Built around 1889, according to the NRHP Inventory form, this two-story Italianate commercial building was originally a saloon, although the State of Oregon Inventory of Historic Sites and Buildings notes the original use as a "harness shop." It has since held insurances offices, a millinery shop, and most recently, a restaurant and bar. The western wall of the building features a mural titled "Icarus," painted in 2009. The subject and style of the artwork is a unique choice for a historic district.
