It was built in 1900 from the plans of George R. Mann, and is named for Arkansas Supreme Court Chief Justice U. M. Rose.

The building was built originally as an office property and by the early to mid twentieth century housed retail when the city's Main Street was the major shopping district.

The two-story structure now displays a symmetrically massed Neoclassical façade, designed by George R. Mann.

It was later home to retail users in the mid twentieth century, two long term tenants were Allsopp-Chappell, a local bookstore, and Moses Melody shop.

It has been redeveloped by the national CRE investments and development organization, The Lasiter Group, the asset's owner.
