Inscription. Before the Civil War Dr. John Shackleford lived here and practiced medicine next door. In the late 19th and early 20th century James H. Hall, president of the James H. Hall Plow Factory resided here. By 1913 Michael S. Flarity had purchased the building his family would own until 1960.

One of the tenants of the apartments in the building in the 1940s was Alice Lloyd, a prominent state figure in the temperance and women's suffrage movement.

In August 1976 the building was purchased by Anne Williams, who operates her beauty salon here. Apartments maintain this as a residential property. This well-built structure, now 130 years old, is unique for its stained glass and woodwork.
