This is a rectangular two-story brick Classical Revival commercial building with a flat roof and parapet in a row.  The storefront has three bay divided by two ornamental cast iron posts.  The storefront has two side entrances flanking a large display window surmounted by transoms.  On the second floor, two 1/1 wooden double-hung windows flank a projecting bay window with an ornamental sill, fluted side molding and hipped roof with dentil molding.  The building front has tooled stone pier blocks, rough-cut accent blocks, molded brick courses ornamenting the storefront, grooved brick end piers, a rough-cut belt course and window hoods.  The eave has dentil brick detailing, projecting piers, and a corbelled eave cornice.

This building was recorded in the 1896 Sanborn insurance map as a clothing store. The business was a billiard parlor in 1911 and 1917. By 1930 this was the F. A. Jenkins grocery and meat market. Myrtle Jenkins was the property owner in 1954 and 1965.
