From the NRHP application, we learn that the one-story painted brick Moore Grocery Company was built in 1913. Sold staple items, canned goods, candy, dried fruit, and general merchandise. Deliveries arrived via railroad and unloaded at the spur that ran alongside the building.
In 1955, the building was sold to Clarence T. King, who moved his feed business there which was present when the NRHP application was submitted. In recent years, a hardware store occupied the location; however, this business dissolved in 2013. Currently the structure is empty and for sale.
