The plaque reads:
CRESTON HOTEL GRAND PACIFIC RESTAURANT Prior to the construction of this building, there stood a two-story school building holding classes in the 1870's. William W. Burton was Master and Mrs. Frosham, the assistant. The present commercial vernacular was built circa. 1890-95. It is brick, two stories, with gabled cornace, square bay windows and beveled corner. The building was originally divided into several narrow stores, each one an independant commercial unit but all housed under one roof. Businesses found here were, Alice's Restaurant, Wong, Lee & Joe Restaurant, New York Cafe, Grand Pacific Restaurant, the George Nole Saloon and Creston Hotel. Restored in 1984
