The building was built in the later 1930s and from then until about 1987 housed the department store. It is updated and the businesses are different, but the building retains most of its original character inside and out, including interior columns and the mezzanine. It's one of the most significant buildings of its type and style in the region, if not the most, and it makes for a neat shopping experience. It's worth visiting just for the architectural element.
