The
NRHP Nomination Form contains the following verbiage to describe this building's prior life as a bank:
This rectangular one-story brick building is approximately 20' x 100. It has a sloping roof with a parapet anda cast iron pilaster at each end of the building. It was extensivelyremodeled in the 1940s by Dr. Bruck Tuck, anoptometrist. The building has since been remodeled to include contemporary fixed-pane windows, a brick veneer, a recessed entry with a new door. It has entrances on both Jackson and Main Streets. Although the original cast iron pilasters at the corner of the building have not been covered over, the rest of the building has been altered extensively. It is no longer considered a contributing resource in the district.
The first business to occupy this building was a bank that had been started in 1883 by W.D. Humphrey and S.C. Flint. This was the first bank in Roseburg and evolved into the 1902 Douglas County Bank. At one time the space was divided into two stores; in 1912
the Jackson Street side was occupied by a barber and the Main Street side by a grocer, Alton Frey. It was owned by an optometrist, Dr. Bruce Tuck in the 1940s. It is now a barber shop.
This building is currently home to Heavenly Hands! Heavenly Hair! Beauty Salon.
