It was deemed "significant as a well-developed local example of early 20th-century neoclassical commercial architecture. Distinguishing features of the building include the composition of Ionicpilasters and end pavilions with quoining and the fully detailed entablature embellished with swags."[2]
Through 1985 the building had always served as a furniture store: as the Bagley Furniture and Undertaking Company until 1917, as the George Cater Furniture Company, and then as the Rhodes Furniture Company.[2]
