It was a one-story stone building with a galvanized iron front manufactured by the Mesker Bros. of St. Louis, Missouri. It was built for George McGowan, a merchant, and was rented to William Buster until Buster outright purchased the building. The building was considered the finest building in Challis for a number of years.[2]
The building no longer existed in 2008.[note 1]
Another NRHP-listed stone building, the Challis Cold Storage, located at about 300 Main Ave., collapsed in the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake.
Notes
- As of October 2017, Google Maps' streetview photography dated June 2008 shows the location, with a space where the building was located between two wooden buildings that survived in 2008 and appeared adjacent to the Buster Meat Market in its 1980 NRHP registration photo. Google satellite imagery as of 2017 showed those flanking buildings also gone, replaced by the Tea Cup Cafe and Bakery and its parking lot.
