The building was designed by Kansas City architects Archer and Gloyd and was built by local contractor J. H. Thompson in 1929.

The concrete structure is clad with brick and stone on the main (west) facade, while the remaining sides reveal the concrete.

The interior is supported by concrete mushroom columns.

The facility was operated by Safeway until 1953, when it was purchased by the Halls Company.
