One of the few Queen Anne-style commercial buildings in the city,[1] it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

[2] The building, which was designed by architecture firm Claude and Starck, was originally constructed for retired attorney F. J. Lamb in 1905.

The upper sash of each window is leaded glass in a diamond pattern around a heraldic shield design.

The original inside was maple flooring, hardwood trim, and lath and plaster walls and ceilings.

The Commercial State Bank next door used it for a while, and it housed Charles O. Davis' men's clothing store in the 1940s.
