Originally two buildings, the first was built on the corner of Washington Street and Holmes Avenue in 1930 to house Fowler's Department Store, one of several department stores on Washington Street (including Dunnavant's and Kress).
The second building, adjacent to the first along Holmes, was constructed in 1936 as a farm supply store.
Fowler's went bankrupt in 1938, and Belk Husdon purchased the corner building in 1940.
After Belk Husdon left the downtown area, the building was renovated into offices in the 1980s.
