The original 1881 building is a wood-frame two-story structure, built to meet demand related to Denver and Rio Grande Railroad construction. The second stage, also two-story, added around 1927, is cement stucco over adobe. The third stage, added in 1932, was cement stucco over wood-frame construction.[2]
It is significant as one of the first commercial buildings in Chama, and as the only commercial building which survived several fires in the town.[2]
