Also known as the Ed Wright Building, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

[1] The building was a general store built by Ed Wright in 1887 using chalk taken from Happy Jack Peak, a chalk bluff on the North Loup River near Scotia.

Ed Wright, an early settler of Scotia, had begun mining chalk from the bluff in 1878.

[2] In 2010, only about half of the building which was in place in 1978 remained, based on photographs.
