It is an International Style building designed by Edwin A. Keeble. It is designated WA-B-127.[1]

It is a four-story building.[2][3]

It was listed for its design not its age.[4]

Its style might better be termed Contemporary rather than International, in part due to its use of brick, according to one source focused upon the Modern Automotive District.[5]

It was built by Clarence Shaub,[1] a construction contractor.[6]
