of Historic Places nomination for the Downtown Wilkesboro Historic District, of which Hubbard's is a contributing building:

The Dodge House was located at this site in the nineteenth century; later the site became known as Calloway Corner. By 1945 the corner lot stood vacant, and the present commercial building was erected in 1956. The two-story, rectangular, brick-veneered structure is three bays wide and six bays deep and has a flat, parapeted roof. The recessed storefront that carries across the east three-fifths of the façade has a square, fluted-wood corner post and aluminum-edged door and windows. A secondary wood door at the west end of the façade opens to the stair to the second floor. A smaller display window is positioned on the east elevation just around the corner from the façade. Metal casement windows line the second story. A mechanical lift is located at the rear of the building.
