It is significant as the first major joint project of Purcell and Elmslie, and one of few commercial buildings by them. William Gray Purcell designed the building and George Grant Elmslie created the ornamentation of terra cotta, glass mosaic and wood. The building has been regarded as an "excellent" example of Prairie School architecture, implemented in brick.[2]
