Built in 1954, it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 for its direct association with growth and development of downtown Renton, and for its connection to the national five-and dime chain store, F.W.

[3] The Woolworth Company was one of the original pioneers of the five-and-dime store.

At its opening, which coincided with the F. W. Woolworth Company's diamond jubilee, the open shopping area on the first floor was 6000 sf.

An employee lounge, conference room, and offices were on the second floor.

King County's historic preservation program awarded the restored building the John D. Spellman Award for historic preservation in 2016.
