Inscription.
The Railway Express Company building, a one-part masonry vernacular commercial structure, was built sometime between 1913 and 1919. It originally housed the offices of the Railway Express Company. At some point between 1919 and 1926, Railway Express built a new building on the property just north of the site and a laundry was subsequently established. The building was restored between 1985 and 1986.
