This circa 1901, the four-story Classical Revival building was designed by architects H.E. Roach and Son. The building was originally constructed for the LaPrelle Williams Shoe Company and was acquired by the Brown Shoe Company in either 1904 or 1905. The Brown Shoe Company used the building to manufacture Buster Brown Blue Ribbon children’s shoes. The building is as currently used by a bath and kitchen company
