The first building is a gable-roofed frame structure, sided with clapboards and roofed with corrugated metal.

A plain false front covers the gable end, which is at right angles to the two-story section.

Hugus' building housed a general store, a saloon and the Saratoga State Bank.

The store was bought by the Cosgriff Brothers in 1899, expanding to the west with more frame construction due to a scarcity of bricks.
