This Italianate building was constructed in three sections circa 1872.
Its upper stories, ornamented with fine brickwork along the cornice
line, were used as a residential hotel for railroad employees.
Originally, a horse stable connected the building with the
Bentley-Settle building. Bentley-Settle used the central and eastern
storefront as a warehouse. A metal cornice terminates the main facade
with paired brackets and is placed above the cast-iron storefront.
Windows are headed by ornate hood moldings.
