This commercial structure was built by J.A. McAdams, a Riverside businessman and civic leader who worked for the area’s incorporation into the City of Fort Worth. L.R. Scott, a druggist, operated Scott’s Drug Co. here for 31 years. Other tenants in the building included a branch post office, Worth Food Market, Mott’s Store, a barber¬shop and the Helpy-Selfy Store. This one-story, L-plan brick structure occupies a highly visible corner at Riverside and Belknap. The building’s six storefront bays are divided by piers which penetrate the parapet roof to form small stepped gables topped by an urn. The building has a rear concrete block addition, but otherwise has not been altered.
