L. Green Pritchard purchased this N. Main Street site in 1904 and offered furnished rooms for rent on the second floor of his building by 1914. The two- story commercial structure housed a restaurant, bakery and barbershop in its ground level storefronts as early as 1907. A number of retail firms have carried on business since then. The street level shopfronts have suffered remodelings, although the high parapet still distinguishes the building with its corbeled brick cornice.
