This two-story commercial structure with its cast iron and pressed metal front is one of the most commanding Main Street buildings.
Four-bays wide, entrance is gained through four sets of French doors. The metal cornice is capped by a metal panel stamped with J. Adoue, the name of the banker/merchant who constructed the building in 1884. Adoue owned several businesses and it is said this store set an ambitious style for the town.
