A 2 car open carport built of wood post with a corrugated roof projects to the S. The N facade is obscured by the addition of a pent roofed concrete block section with 2, 6 light windows to its N and an entrance with an awning to the W.

"The structure remained as a carpenter shop at least til l929 and was situated at the rear of J.J. Walther's residence. J.J. Walther designed and built many storefronts in and around Boonville including the Gmelich and Schmidt Jewelry Co., stained glass canopy, 309 Main and stained glass front of the Miller's Drug Store. 309 Main, no longer in existence. The present business has been at this location for a number of years.
