Contributing property, Harlan Courthouse Square Commercial District, National Register of Historic Places #94001099.
From the NRHP nomination: This two-story brick building exhibits simple Italianate detailing. While the storefront level has been greatly altered with brick infill of the original storefront windows, the second floor has been little altered other than window coverings. The present entry on the right side is the original entry configuration. The detailing of the second floor, with its three-rank fenestration, decorative hoodmolds, and brick corbelled cornice and panels is compatible with adjacent buildings and mirrors others in the district. The interior of the second floor retains the original woodwork, double doors, transoms, and bullseye molding. Historically, this building housed the Hertert Bros. Land Office (c. 1887-c.1918) and the Unique Cafe (1940s).
