Contributing property, Harlan Courthouse Square Commercial District, National Register of Historic Places #94001099.

From the NRHP nomination: This two-story building occupies a somewhat narrower lot than others around the square. It is of brick construction with rusticated red sandstone trim and mirrors some of the patterns of the two adjacent buildings. The interior retains a pressed metal ceiling that extends the length of the store and is uncovered. The original entry was on the west side of the façade, with a street level entry to the basement barbershop.
